I like Gottman's work. But it may be a timing thing.

To share personal experience, when H first went to an IC in October of 2011 he said it was for MC. So she had us start this book. The issues were so much deeper with the life-changing feelings and depression that I think it wasn't the right fit. So H cried after each time we did the exercises together and after two months begged me to stop.

I think we may be at a point soon where we can take it up again. I wanted to ask our MC what she thinks about it. It's definitely a great book for marriage rebuilding but in these MLC sitches....this DB method seems to have worked better for me.

CB, thanks for taking the time to outline it all. You're thorough.
