I just wanted to step back on the soap box for one last word...
When we get too caught up in techniques, something happens that we aren’t really aware of. There are two casualties.
The first casualty is the truth. The second casualty is yourself.
Both of these losses are noticed by your SO. Even if they aren’t conscious of it, they know in their heart of hearts that something’s not right.
Quote: So I called CAW to see if it was alright to drop D11 of in a couple of minute as we were heading by. She said yea and them asked why. I couldn't come up with an DB-type of answer on the spot, so I just said, "I just need some time alone."
OK, KAW. It wasn’t a DB-type answer. It was a KAW-type answer. It was honest without foisting blame on CAW.
Be yourself, KAW. You’re a great guy.
You can’t be the great guy you are if you’re always trying to project a DB image.
If you keep second-guessing what CAW thinks, you’ll keep her guessing too.
And I can guarantee you one thing. She’ll guess wrong!
