    Wow, Cary. :)

    I'm glad you betrayed Betrayal Week. This was one really great article. Every so often, you come up with something that just cuts right through to the heart of the matter and informs my socks off. This response was one of them. Whether the essence of the problem between LW and her boyfriend was personal or cultural, the approach you suggested would address either. I found it elegant and wise.

    And btw, here's one reader who agrees 100% that the "one letter, one answer" format works for you. It really does. :)
