Svenster,
Yes...now the real work begins, rebuilding your R and M. Here is an idea on the ILY question. What you could do is plan something romantic and meaningful, something that will signify the beginning of the new R. Then take the initiative and say ILY, but make it romantic, something you will both remember. Then build on that. It is not so much that you say it, but is the when, where and how you say it that is going to be meaningful. Sure you could just say it, but then it will not carry wieght and meaning. It will be kind of a let down. Remember you are a changed person, more in tune with your W than ever before. This includes being romantic and spontaneous, not the workaholic you used to be. So go for it Sven and shine like we know you will. Good luck to you. Ciao.
