Looks like we cross-posted. Thanks for your input on my thread to my question. Yes, you are spot-on. I am wrestling with the question of R vs M. I really deeply love my W despite everything and amazingly enough she has the same gunk as your W about "evolved woman dont need no marriage thingy nohow" stuff. She also has a lot of self-esteem issues as she is now working in a place with very snooty ivy-league colleagues and she came from a modest background as did I. So, in a way, somehow I dont measure up to her more exalted colleagues (total crap, I can place myself next to anyone intellectually, I'm no Einstein, but not many of us are, most of us are somewhere in the bellcurve and beyond that it is all motivation and hard work and such).
Improving ourselves and being happy and thankful for what we have is all we can do. And it ain't too bad, really. I was watching this TV movie on McCain's life, 5 years in the Hanoi Hilton. Jeez, what a man he is, not bitter or negative to this day. I love that guy!
Take care. Thanks for everything.

The 3 laws of DBing:
1. PMA is critical to DBing.
2. Since drop in WAW's PMA leads to drop in LBS's PMA and vice-versa detachment is critical.
3. Validate to raise WAW's PMA and GAL to raise LBS's.
