B50, I have to tell you, I am surprised that she wants to go to MC. Most of the time, the partner having the affair ( whom I call the MLC spouse) wants no part of marital counseling. He/she wants to run the other way. She must be very confident of her ability to get sympathy for her side of the story. There is a certain brashness to her character that is hiding HER insecurities. Does anyone here really think she's capable of real MC work right now?

I am concerned about her, B50. I mean, she has this OM friend and now she plans ths other pseudo date, with another aqcuaintance of yours? She's not tracking properly. Somehow, if I were you, I would try to figure out a way to detach from the situation and get her some help.
