Just to throw my 2 cents in...a lot of us have pets. Yes I realize that they are not children, but they are living beings with whom we've formed emotional attachments with our SOs. This can help. We all (at least most of us)also have joint finances together. I know it isn't the same as children, but it is an investment nonetheless.
Also, looks like Pisces is well on the path to busting her divorce! Poet--I LOVE your idea about contributing solutions for each other. I think we are all in very different places, but we could probably all learn from each others insight.
I think most of us have read DR and DB. For anyone who hasn't talked to a DB coach, I'd highly recommend this route, even if it's just 1 session. Like I've said in other threads, no guarantees this will save the marriage, but sometimes the coach may think of things the rest of us don't see or haven't considered.
Poet--any thoughts for how we should start this off? Should we all just look at each others' threads and each of us offer advice/thoughts for the various situations?
