Pho- before I get too far I apologize for any autocorrect fails-I type better than I Swype...
Our mc certainly didn't sign off on the ea, but focused more on why it happened and what both of our needs were for the marriage. The mc also made the point to my wife that if she bailed on marriage now she would be very likely to do it again. And again. And she'd never really be happy if that was the path she chose. The mc also made a point of saying how similar our needs were. We are now working on plans to get our respective needs.
I should also say that my wife swore that the ea was over. I'm just not as trusting as the mc. Blame was not assigned per se, and I intentionally choose not to dwell on the ea until I felt we had a better foundation to start with. We were at a precipice, and I made the choice that made the most sense to me.
