Meet with counselor today. He suggested that since what I have been doing has not produced the results that I am looking for, that I consider taking a pretty firm line with W. Basically, I should settle for nothing less than “I’m ready to work on our marriage”. So, if she suggests going to dinner under the condition that we avoid R talk, I should decline. If she says ILY, than I should say “That’s very nice for you to say that, but honestly I have no idea what that means.” If she suggests having the five of us together for Thanksgiving dinner, I should say no.

I’m not sure that I can do this. Any thoughts?
