Welcome to the community. You will be monitored for a little bit, but don't get discouraged if your posts seem to take a bit long to show up. Come every chance you have to post, b/c that not only helps you....but us also. It's a community of people who can share with very, VERY common experiences. Some learn....some don't. Some M makes it...some don't. But if you'll stick with the board, you will receive information that will give you the tools to survive the roller coaster ride. Yes, marriages can make it. But you are the only one in your M that has shown up, and this will be advice for you only. Don't share what you learn with your W. That's kind of like showing the opposing team the game book (or whatever it's called).
Do your children stay in their home, or with your W?
You said you were going to fight for the M. What are your thoughts or ideas of "fighting for the M"?
It is not about what you feel should work in your M. It is about doing the work that gets the right results. Do what works!
