So, I have a question for you: Why are you here? What do you hope to get out of your participation in this forum? What questions do you have for the vets here, and/or what would you like feedback on?

These are not snarky questions. They are actual, serious questions.

(I asked this question of another highly defensive man recently... he never answered and has since disappeared for the moment).

If you put down your defenses, and read the posts from Mr. Bond and 25yrs, you might find peace within yourself, and quite possibly save your M.


I am here because I am desperate to save my marriage and I don't know which direction to turn. I've been getting all kinds of advice from friends, from the Internet, from my DB coach. My situation is such a complicated mess that I fear each move I make. I started reading the DR book and I'm looking to supplement the book and the DB coaching with good feedback from you folks.

I'm sorry if I come off as defensive, but that's sort of in my nature. I'll try to be more conscious of it going forward. I really do appreciate everyone's responses, whether or not I agree with them.
