ok, so you are suggesting imediate implication of the last resort technique as the only way to get through to a man?

let's say the "complaining" spouse does give the list of needed change by x time or else d is iminent. now let's say the "other" spouse makes the changes...the thread of d is removed and they then fall back to the way they were...what then? how many times can one use the last resort before it is seen as just another bit of nagging and wont be followed through with?

not saying that the lrt wont work...just saying that it may be wise to try some other things first before going there.

so misfit,

what are the things that you are missing in life asside from a lover (and know that you are not the only woman in that boat).

I noticed you say you've stopped doing alot of the things you liked to do...can you start doing some of them again? without asking h to join you? who knows he might wonder what your up to and want to come along.
