We received an email from the local Retrouvaille team outlining the next steps in the registration process - W and I each need to call the organizing couple for a screening interview, and then we need to write our check for $400.

It also talked about committing to the entire weekend and then the follow-up sessions.

Upon reading the letter, Mrs. Thinker immediately looked distressed and began voicing concerns: "I don't know, It seems like a huge commitment of time and money. I'm not sure about this."

Of course this is ridiculous - $400, 1 weekend and 6 evenings to try to save a M is a pittance and a sound investment. We'll spend more than that sometimes to go visit a friend for the weekend somewhere. Just compare to the cost in money and time required for a divorce...

But of course, that is not really the issue, so I didn't contradict her. She is having second thoughts about going, is backing away and is latching onto time and $ as the excuses. I don't think proving to her that we can afford the money and should invest the time would get me anywhere.

"Thinking" right now about how hard I want to push, how much pressure I want to use before I proceed. confused

Any Feedback?
