Wife abandoned me...Now What?

CK,

"And your stats on the effectiveness of this matter are dreadfully inaccurate... You aren't helping posters by misinforming them."

First of all I didn't quote any "stats". It's just what I've seen after being on the boards for 2.5 years.

"And again for the record Mike did tell them and they did very much get involved. You are way off base here... again."

Getting involved is one thing. Getting to the point where it actually changes the mind of the WAS is something totally different.

From observation here and in other place (yes I do go outside these boards and have acquired a fair amount of research), when you involve family and friends alot of times they may seem and get active in trying to break up the A, but then they lose steam or end up siding with the WAS. Again, I'm not saying that always happens. It's just what I've seen.

It's the reason why DR says to not involve well-meaning family and friends. Or at least that's my take.

But ever situation is different it's up to the individual as to what they want to apply.

I see that you've been here for a couple years also. Do you have your own story somewhere?
