Debating whether to get it or not. Have been doing a lot of thinking (when S13 and I have not been out and about) and I have to be realistic. D is NOT what I want and I have continuously told W this (last time was last Tuesday). Will getting this book hurt my resolve? Thoughts?


I think that -- from what I know about The Love Dare -- that those two books represent quite the polar extremes in terms of approaches. I personally am a much stronger advocate of the fertile "middle ground" of DBing, particularly when accompanied by some firm boundary-setting and tough love.

"The Love Dare," from what I understand of it, smack me of pursuing, and of course I'm no advocate of divorce (altho I understand sometimes it's necessary, and have even filed for it myself in the past).
