The saga continues

OK.

If I don't bring up R talk my W wont either and that is where I went wrong yesterday.

So to be able to utilize that script I have to just come out and say it.

Now usually, when W brings up leaving/divorce, respond with a constructive positive response like "that will not bring long term happiness" or "I will continue to work on this marriage myself but it would be much easier and faster if we worked together" these constructive snippets came at the suggesting of a DBer who, from what I read, normally suggest the tough approach.

I have not really attempted the counter intuitive responses and when I did I failed at making it sound sincere but came off as a jerk instead.
