I spoke to a woman from New Beginnings and she feels it would really benefit H and I to come to the weekend if he agrees to go. Said their approach is totally based on "tough love" and was glad I'd read Dobson's works. Said that it would not be me pursuing him at all - and that would be shown throughout the weekend. SO, I've drafted this email to him. Of course, "confrontation" would be put on hold until after the weekend. Feedback, please!!
I have been thinking about our conversation the other night and you said you were willing to go to the weekend marriage retreat. It is coming up next weekend, at least the closest one to us is.(July 30th weekend)
If you are still willing to go, we need to register. There is a payment plan where we pay about $500 now and then make monthly payments of $100 each. Hotel is extra.
It seemed that you only wanted to go to appease me. I hope that is not the case and that you would truly like to see if we have a chance. Believe me, I am not ready to stay in a loveless marriage to someone who does not want me. I also do not want to be in a marriage where I am suspicious of behavior and don't feel safe, where secrets are kept and relationships pursued on the outside. Perhaps this weekend would be good for both of us to determine where we stand.
