so is keeping things focussed on the financial side of things, is this typical for a WW?


Yes

Call me Mr Negative if you like but it seems there are more people on this BB who end up divorced rather than finding a way to reconciliation or am I simply suffering from a case of confirmation bias.


It's not just "this" BB, it is going to be the majority of any BB b/c 50% of marriages end in divorce. That's the stats I have heard on TV, and other sources, for years.

As far as stats based on those who used the DB program, I don't know how it could be justly determined. In my own observation, alone, I have seen people come & go on the board who made claims of applying DB.....when I saw (based on what they wrote) they did NOT apply DB principles/techniques, or apply properly. Truth was, they ignored what they read and did things the way they wanted to do it. I have even seen a few return and say that DBing did not work for them. shocked What they failed to see was that DBing is not about joining the board, but doing the work. No program can give a guarantee up front, b/c no program is fool-proof.

Your questions are not uncommon for a newcomer. Perhaps it is b/c they want a guarantee or to shop around and compare, IDK. Each person has to come to their own conclusion. Those of us here on this board believe DBing has the best guidelines in showing the member how to deal with the crisis in their life. Plus, it has a truly wonderful group of people who spend hours supporting their fellow board member.


It is not about what you feel should work in your M. It is about doing the work that gets the right results. Do what works!
