LHSM,

"The Love Dare" is generally not considered to be good DBing around here, and it's DEFINITELY not the book for you and your own sitch right now. It's practically a TEXTBOOK for Smothering.

It's better for two people who are both re-committed to the marriage, and wanting to reconcile and get things back on track.

The other two books that Coach suggested would be perfect.

I hope you know I'm not just trying to bust your ballz. In many ways, YOU ARE EXACTLY LIKE ME. I wrote my wife beautifuli song lyrics, gave her roses, sent her e-mails -- everything.

It doesn't work, and I just am trying to prevent you from prolonging the agony any longer than you have to. This is a process, and it DOES take a ton of patience, but it CAN be done a little quicker or a lot slower, depending on how well you follow the steps.
