lwb, btw, my BFF's mom, the one who went throught this 20+ years ago and now has been married 35 years, gave me Love Must be Tough. She caught wind of my sitch and invited me over for lunch. She has been a mother figure since I became friends with her daughter when I was 9 (20 years ago). I met her when my parents were splitting. Anyway, that is the one book she read back then, and she gave it to me. She packed her H's stuff, put a picture of the kids and put his stuff out on the porch. She had five kids between 1 and 8. She got a job. Her H was madly in love with his OW. He wanted to marry her. He was gone two months and has been home ever since. Now, she says she took him back too soon, should have made him sweat it out a bit because once he was back and comfortable, he stopped working on being better. She said it took 2 years before she was comfortable and stopped obsessing about the A.
Anyway, she tough loved, went dark, and GAL.

yoyo....not a word. Tonight we were talking a bit about things and I said "You know, I was at the library to pay our fines and pick up a book on hold. I thought you were at your Dad's". He said he didn't want to talk about it, and I said "Ok" and moved on. He is being so nice, its weird. I feel something coming....
neph, I am looking forward to reading this book. I think I need a new tactic. Your BFF's mom is one tough cookie!!!
Neph, I have read the book, but always been a little afraid of implementing the ideas. How about you? I wish I was strong enough to do it, but I don't think I'm to that point yet.
Your friend's resolve is amazing!

Wouldn't that be nice if you could pound knowledge into there heads that way? Their hard heads would probably tear up the book, probably better try a sledge hammer!
