I agree with you on Retrouvaille. I dragged my w. to it, and she sat there with her usual puss on, arms folded, refusing to consider that "Love is indeed a choice and not a feeling". All she did was get more and more angry as the weekend passed, and I drifted more and more into hoplessness. Some of the couples who run it overcame immense barriers inclduing massive infidelity, so "meeting emotional needs" didn't seem like much of a stretch for me to expect to work on. I was wrong. How's the weigh reduction/blood pressure decrease going? Are you 165 lbs, yet?
