You've got a good group of people assembled here, and they are all right. She is head in the clouds, starry-eyed about what love is, and she is flat out wrong about that. I was shocked to see that she is using the "it's not real love" excuse twice in a row. She never will learn, will she? Perhaps she should talk to a priest or read a book on the nature of love.
I'm with the guys on the EA or PA with her helper. Yep. That's what women do. Pigskin nailed it with Retrouvaille is more appropriate now than ever. That is so true. No matter what the two of you do after the weekend, you will communicate better, be nicer to each other, and understand each other better if you go through the weekend. And 44 hours is not too much time to devote to a ten year marriage with 2 children!
Ah, but wait. Does she know that they will ask if there is another party involved? Perhaps that is why she can't make the phone call. Because she will have to lie about OM to them
She is trying to ease you out of your home and your family with a shoehorn. Show her you are not her fool!
