good. consider this then: If I was to tell my wife,
"I am unhappy with this marriage. We don't talk about anything interesting. We don't do anything together."
Then went out for drinks with "Marionette," talked for hours and came home with a smile, and my wife didn't pay attention to that, I would think she's facing a bigger problem then not following one of Sandi's rules.
or let's consider this:
"I really can't deal with this. I need to go out for a while." Then came home at 3 in the morning. I wouldn't ignore that.
Just because these examples may not apply to your situation, it still would be unwise to dismiss them. I quoted an example for your thread that is a lot easier to turn around then these.
