25,

You may or may not know this, but a lot of the words that you have posted on these forums (some specifically to me) played a big role in where I find myself today.

For that, I say Thank You.

Once this thread runs its course, I will be moving over to the Piecing Forum to learn from people like yourself who have pieced their marriages back together.

My W and I have agreed to attend Retrovaille. Now that we know that we will be settling in the Bay Area, we can begin the next chapter.


This^^^ is a smart thing to do. First off, though we think reconciling is our goal, it is and it isn't. I call it "restoring my marriage" b/c if all we did was get back together, we'd be apart again by now. We needed new tools and or a refresher course.

If we'd gone to EE again, we'd have been just fine, I thinkn. But Retrovaille was in our town and ON OUR wedding anniversary, so, um, I felt like the universe was telling me something.

Plus EE covers a lot of things that are not directly marriage related and when we were in Piecing, we needed that to be our focus. And life threw us another curve ball, which life does.

MIL got terminally ill after we reconciled and that's a HUGE stresser that any couple could use help with. Retrovaille was a great place for what we needed then. I'm glad we went

I'm also interested in possibly heading to the east coast at some point to attend EE that you discussed with NavyGuy. It sounds like a life changing experience.


EE IS absolutely a life changing experience and you'll leave it with a sense of clarity and intent that might have been lacking in your life. It is profound.

BTW, they don't keep asking you for more money, which is also nice b/c I have attended other personal growth workshops that seem a bit too into recruiting and money making.

Oh Sure, if you love it as I do, you'll "recruit" b/c you feel enthusiastic. But there's no greed factor, if you know what I mean. I don't get a kick back and there are no gurus in it. Oh, and forgiveness tools are there!


It's called "Essential Experience" and they have a pretty good website. Check it out.

If you do go, let me know your first name sometime and I'll make sure you get in b/c it can fill up fast...

Thanks for your 2 cents.

you are very very welcome. It's just paying it forward, my friend.
