Well Mooka ... chock this one onto the "Doesn't work" list:
- Absolutely no R talks after drinking a few glasses of wine.

There always bound to be setbacks in any R. Being with someone is a life long experience in learning how to interact with each other. Its when we stop paying attention to the lessons that crop up that we start to get into trouble. Mooka, you are too good a student of DBing to let that happen now. I take it now I don't have to go over the lessons of the tortoise and the hare.

I'm sure you have heard of sticking the big toe in the water analogy. Well I would say your H has much more that his big toe in the water. I would say he's probably up to his knees. ... but for me I know I have to get above the belly button before I would commit to taking a swim. I get the sense maybe your H be alike in this fashion. So try not to sweat lack of the ILY at this stage and know that when he does finally say those three little words ... he will be committed to every syllable.

The rest of your news is just wonderful to hear and is truly inspirational ... which leads me to ...

I can't express just how much you have helped me over the last two weeks as CAW transitioned to living in her own place. The way you DBed and handled your seperation has been such an inspiraation for me to follow. I only hope that I will be able to handle it as well as you have. I just could wait for you to come back so you would know how so very much you have had a positive impact on getting me thru these last few weeks.

Thank You so very much!!!!! ... (and I mean every syllable)

'til later,
KAW
