I dunno what I'm talking about 'cause I'm another of these lost souls who are praying to get their own relationships back, but here's my reaction:

You need to figure out what drove you to throw that punch and fix THAT in you. She gave you a second chance, and maybe she'll give you a third, but God forbid you have to ask her for a fourth! As Mort would say, the key is consistency.

On the Jan 31 deadline, I too am facing a deadline (my husband will move 1000 miles away in a few months) and thinking about it makes me panicked and desperate. My coach's advice is to put it out of my mind. By whatever means necessary. It's not healthy to repress your feelings, but I'm bargaining that this is temporary. And that I can't afford either the lack of discipline or the oh-so-attractiveness of being panicked and desperate. My goal is to become a woman worthy of the amazing man who married me and maybe you can set a goal like that for yourself.
