Hoping for some clarity and guidance. I did show my mom the rules, and explained that for now, it would be best if she was there for support, but to let me find a way through. We will see. W said she would be home at 3, it is 5, but I am not calling or texting, will just entertain myself and fight the urge.


Okay first, the "rules" are something a poster here assembled, based on MWD's books. They are not infallible and if you read them carefully you can see that some of them conflict.

No one size fits all. Don't cling to them b/c our problems getting our marriages here, are more complex than the guidelines, which only GUIDE us, can do. The real work is done by digging deep. The real journey in life is an inward one.

Secondly, the cost of the DB coaching is nothing compared to the lost wages of missing work, getting a divorce, or feeling sick all the time. Buy a package of 3 and

AND KNOW IT'S NOT A WASTE...at the very least you will not continue to do the opposite of what you need to do (180s!! GAL!! What of THOSE are you doing??)

and at best, you'll find yourself, and her, in this morass. You'll get some tools and learn to leave the past in the past, and go "from this day forward" like the vows tell us to, and save your m.

You are hedging your bets (Figuring out that saving now means more b/c you probably can't win anyhow)...& that is a losing approach to life,

and you cannot save a marriage like that. Spend the money NOW and get a DB coach and no, don't tell your w. And you have read the books, YES?? B/C if you have not, do that first. THEN get a coach and do this all, this week.

Stop pushing your w out of your life...

more later...
