They seem soooooo real, and I can get my mind around them and justify them even. It's hard. I ready your sitch and yeah, waiting to give the books to her, etc is a good idea. She sounds like she may be ready soon. Like I said, I needed them to help me get through this. She may need them to. NOT to necessarily help her work on the marriage, but to help her get through these initial feelings. SOme parts of those books help with that. I am not even reading all of the rest of the book until I get can past this part of things. You know what I mean?
