Gabbysmom no actually it is EXACT what she meant. It was literally half our session. I told her about the state of the union incident and she said that was great. Do more of that. If she is wanting to engage you then take the chance. It was not open for interpretation, those were literally the words she said. Meet friendly messages with friendly replies, smiley faces and lols with the same. But be the one in control of th xchange and you choose when to end it. Which I do.

Also laurie said specifically to listen to her about strategy of bringing my W closer and not the forum. She said Iif you cant do that and focus on what I telling you to do then dont go on the forums at all.

I dont think it has changed as you say. I think situations are different. Depends on what the issue is in the M. Also depends on spouses ages and history because laurie specifically asked me how old etc..

The last tims there was an exchange about how I must have misunderstood laurie, there was a eesponse from DBMOD reminding us that although we may have seen and lived many sitchs alongside the person on the forum, the coaches have helped thousands of people fix their marriage and their experience and advice can sometimes seem odd

I will find that post and copy it here.
