I hope so. Listen to Mach. Think about what he has said, and don't skirt the issues. This answer, needs more...

Rude and harsh? Would you return to someone who is rude and harsh to you? I wouldn't. Especially after I had made the decision to be done. That sort of behavior, is reinforcing of her choice.

Don't reinforce her choice with your behaviors and words unless you want to be divorced.

The name of the movie is Fireproof. The plan is Love Dare.

Excellent movie, but if you put it into practice with a MLCer, a few things could happen...

One, you are pushing and that always works in the opposite direction than we want. They will run further and faster.

Second, the changes, will seem fake. And MLCers can smell fake and phony changes a mile away.

As well as changes that are done purely to save the M, such as altering your work schedule to be home more, when that schedule apparantly was good enough for you for years.

Translates into, "home more because he wants to be able to see and know every move I make, that controlling b'tard..."

Watch the movie. You will learn from it. Not how to save your M, but how to look in side.
