If your W drops the OM relationship entirely, I believe Retrouvaille will help you a lot more than marriage counseling. Retro is very intense; I can't think of any counseling that would compare to it or deliver more value. It's a lot cheaper, too. It's not just a weekend, there are follow up sessions once a week for at least 6 weeks that are highly recommended and should be considered mandatory.
From what I have read and heard about the program, I tend to agree with you, Pigskin. I am going to ask her about going and show her some literature about it. I don't want to push too much, you know. I'm glad she has agree to go to MC. At least I'll know pretty quickly if she is indeed serious or just doing it to save face.
I told her last night that our appt. is next Thurs. She asked if that was the quickest we could get in. I said that it was. Why the sudden hurry? Again, trying not to mind read, but she rejected counseling for so long now she can't wait to go. Oh well, we'll soon find out.
