Hey sweetie. Sounds great. You know, people will say the rights and wrongs of DB all they want but the bottom line is doing more of what works and less of what doesn't. I think the distinction here is this isn't a regularly scheduled cyclictic event. This is how all my big transitional moments have happened and I'd hazard a guess that's how quite a few progress.
Just some words from my experience. Feel free to take or leave whatever.
First (you already know this) - don't get all hung up on this cause most likely things won't fly back together happy happy like that. It usually takes more time and work - tho stranger things have happened.
Even if your guy doesn't read any of Michele's books, you can still work with him by example the basic concepts. IGgy (my h) has really managed to incorporate the general idea into his life and will even use some of the lingo occasionally.
Example - IGgy had a habit of using a phrase that just really cut me. I told him that every time he said it I was gonna kiss him. A good one too. He said "you're gonna kiss me for doing something you hate". Yep. And you wouldn't believe how fast it worked...and he hasn't really said it since.
You're doing great girl. Good luck on the continued success.
