Leigh,
Good to read your reply. Especially gratified to hear that your relationship is going well. And I believe it is important for others to read that you seem happy - even without a "perfect" situation, because that is the nature of real life, which often involves compromise and accomodation so that the interests of TWO people are served.
There is a tendency to search for an ideal, which often does not exist, and this can lead to much frustration if a Daddy/LG cannot find fulfillment without it. I call my own sweetie my ideal LG, because she exceeds my expectations greatly. Still, my work keeps me away so much that we only have 2-3 nights together a week (no-one to change her 4-5 mornings) :( So, our actual domestic arrangement is far from ideal :( :(
Still, we find a way to make it work, and both of us appear content.
As to the current group posting on DG, I think that there ARE a lot of interesting people, including girls who have just recently arrived, but I agree that there isn't a group of LGs who interact regularly, and that energy is missing.
I expect that another might form again soon. Sisters have a tendency to reach out and find each other. Since you are now a DG veteran, perhaps you can be a BIG sister and draw the other LGs together :)
At any rate, I am exceedingly happy that you have resumed wetting the bed - may that trend continue to the point that your Daddy will have no choice but to diaper you nightly - and who knows in what delightful directions that might lead :) :)
