Yes, puppy, this is for real. She says it with the utmost sincerity. I think she really believes it will work. The question is do I stick around and let it happen.
According to Michelle's book, what we are supposed to do is stick around for awhile in hopes that she will come to her senses. Then if that doesn't work, we move out and pretend like we are moving on with are lives. Hopefully, this will turn them around and they will want to come back.
But, in my mind, both of these techniques are indicating that this is acceptable. To me, anything short of you filing for divorce and telling them it's over if they don't stop, is giving them permission. Am I thinking about this wrong?
