Hold her feet to the fire, b/c when her craving kicks in, or OM tries to contact her......the temptation will be very high. Remember, although she has agreed to transparency.....you cannot trust her at her word. You must verify. Don't check her messages at the same time every day. You can even let a few days ease by and then check it.

This is for her, as well as for you. My H did not ask for transparency, but I did it anyway. I had learned why it was important, and I found out how it helps the W stick to the NC.

She is in for a rough time, but she can do it. She will need your strength and support.


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!
