Right on COG. Don't read into it but Happy New Relationship sounds like quite a major baby step. Also, congratulations on keeping up with your goals and 180's. They say that if you aim for nothing, then that's what you always hit. IF you aim for something, at least you have a chance of hitting it.
I really like how you let it slide and didn't delve deeper into the meaning. You are right about letting go, I think calander dates are the first domino to fall in the process. Keep letting go, don't be afraid to do this. Even when an M is restored, I can't see what long term value there is in getting attached like we did before. Sure there are some dependencies but by and large, we still need to be independent. Dependency is a precendent to control and that's not good.
COG, have you given some thought to a future when you do get back together? I think you are in a good place and it may be proactive to consider this option?
