I am still lurking, thought I'd drop in to say "I love Bruce" (Surgeon general's caveat: not the way Kevin does, but you know what I mean). You guys on this forum just rock. I cant imagine a more pain-stricken but funny group with greater camaraderie and can-do spirit. Once I get some brain energy back I will start posting more. I love this bunch of lunatics....(UD reaches for a tissue and blows his nose loudly)...
BTW, I really liked Bruce's take on your situation. And your response to his sage advice was classic Wes (i.e. you are confused about your own confusion at being confused , ergo the aptness of Bruce's dog-chasing-its-own-tail-analogy. Not to worry Wes, that is exactly the way I feel right now).
I am a little struck by your XW's repeated problems with virtual romances though. If you get back together you will need to address that as a problem it seems like?

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.
