Anyone have links to successful piecing threads?? I want to get a realistic picture of what's sure to be a windy, bumpy road ahead. And most importantly, what WORKS.


I think what happens a lot of time, mdu, is that by the time we successfully piece together our marriages we are SO burnt out from posting, and generally just feel put thru the wringer, that most people don't bother to stick around here and pay it forward and share their success stories. It would be very useful, I agree.

There are still some of us around however who did put Humpty back together again, who can guide you.

I will say that piecing, for me, was probably 3-4x more difficult than DBing and affair-busting. And it IS qualitatively different, too, and calls for different strategies, tactics and attitudes.

I think Jack Three Beans has an excellent thread over on the Piecing forum about just that -- I'll try to link to it here for you. In the meantime, you can always ask anything you want and we can try to answer.
