I'm new and haven't had a chance to read the book yet, BUT I'll give you my opinion. My preacher, who also happens to be one of my closest friends, told me to "ignore" my husband. I think he's talking about what the book calls "going dark". So, I think it's probably a good idea and I've read threads here were people have done this and it was successful. I hope you have some sort of breakthrough b/c I know what kind of pain you are going through (as do most here). Have you done telephone coaching? Maybe you can ask one of the coaches what they think. Just a thought.
