Damn...this is turning into an epidemic around here. I'm pretty new myself here and going thru a similar situation. To borrow another members response: Welcome to Hell. I have been asking for advice here too and won't pretend to be an expert, but I can offer this: DO NOT beg, plead, threaten, cry, etc. I've read enough of the material in the books and here on the board to know that those are some of the absolute worst things that you can do right now. Those will dig you into a deeper hole than you're already in. This has just begun for you and I'm sure some of the more informed and experienced people here will try to help. I have already met some great people. Stay under the radar for now until you can start reading the threads and have some of the others chime in with their opinions. There is a TON of material here to read and the books are pretty good too. IMHO, I would not tell your W right now that you are on this board. Hope this helps a little.
