It is strange how fast things have moved. I am ignoring OM right now. She said she knew he had to go. I will give her some time to handle it and bring it up in the MC session.
I think that's a wise move. Give HER a chance to make the decision and take action on her own. I have all my fingers crossed for you!
and Phoenix..why does anyone have to be wrapped around a finger? Why does he have to be in the "position of power," which assumes that one person has to be in power over the other. That's the "one up/one down" paradigm. That in order for one partner not to be down they have to be up. Instead of equality. A successful marriage in my opinion is one where the power is shared.
