Ok. Now I'm confused too. Are we trying to help SOA or her husband??
I agree he has done everything perfectly and is obviously getting the desired results.
Now back to who were trying to help. As the LBS, from my experience, what SOA is supposed to do is ACCEPT her H's request for space and use this time to work on her own GAL/PMA. Which translates to working out, updating wardrobe, creating mystery, and becoming more ATTRACTIVE to HERSELF and possibly H.
Have I missed something??? Once again I thought we were helping SOA??
