deejay,
Congrats on your wonderful success ! To answer your question, I would say yes, it is normal to go through these feelings. But you know what...just let them go. Your W said she wants to forget the past six months...so validate...right? Yes, honey let us forget those three months...and forget them. If she wants to talk about it in the future then listen to her and validate everything, even if you disagree. This is the beauty of DBing, you just continue doing it no matter what. Remember do what works. Act positively and reinforce her positives with more of the same. Da**, what I would give to be in your shoes, but I am just happy for your success . You have reached that 5th, and final stage of marriage. I have the images of what it will be like when I get there. You are so right that the key is just letting go. Only then do they sense, the WAS, start to see what they are losing, but the trick is to do it in a loving way. Keep the great work up and enjoy what you have.
