May I’m just catching up on your sitch as I not read much on here the last couple of weeks. It sounds like you guys are in a pretty good place right now, you’ve certainly come a long way in so many aspects. It’s a little difficult to read on a phone screen but one of your last paragraphs makes so much sense:

I’m totally with you on this. M2.0 needs to be exactly what you described ...having fun, connecting, making good memories, looking forwards....new features. Like you say there are still some important fixes required from the M1.0 legacy, but as you continue to connect and move forwards with improved teamwork then those will hopefully get fixed as part of the continued development of M2.0. I feel there is an element of trust required on both sides to deal with those issues and right now the trust is probably still a little fragile. But everything I read in your posts...that trust and bond is growing .

I’m so pleased that you are where you are. I need to read through your posts on a bigger screen because I know there is so much I can take away from your sitch and how you have handled yourself throughout, that I can apply to my own. Right now I feel like H and I are rabbits in the headlights - we want to move forward together but a bit startled about what/how!! Sending much love and a virtual G&T !
