Hi Everyone,

My friend has a wife of 14 years. After getting advice at the request of his wife, he moved out. She seemed a little shocked and always wonders how he is doing (washing, food etc).

Of course he desperately wants to save his relationship and I told him he has to be very patient.

Well he has been going through GAL and seems to be doing well. But suddenly after moving out and GALing for a few weeks, his wife wants him to come over all the time for the daughter and seems to want to spend time with him (shopping, ice-skating, etc). She is making no indications that she wants to work on the relationship, however.

What should he do? It was totally different for me. Can someone give some advice about a section in teh book that deals with this (The Divorce Remedy) or other advice?

(Unfortunately, I'm separated from my wife, I did everything wrong and didn't start DBing soon enough, but I read the whole book and now a friend needs help, so I leant him the book and he has a problem. On the other hand, I was single for a good while and had a great time GALing (for me) and eventually met a wonder lady once I was ready)

Thanks

All the advice I have so far indicates that he should get even more space. I think she's falling into the 'I'm happy with this situation' mode and - well thats just not ok with him of course.

Any help?

No I don't think he needs to go dark.

She's inviting him that's a very good sign. Have him go over and just have fun with her and the D.

She may be testing the waters again to see how it is together. During my whole sitch, I think my W invited me to 2 things over 9 months.
