I agree with you Sellout. One size does not fit all. Michelle preaches to "Do what works". Well, if she reads the article and it triggers something in her, then maybe that is considered "working". If it does nothing, then so be it. Just keep moving forward.
I think the main thing to note in your sitch is that she asked for it twice. If you were just randomly emailing her articles, then that would not be advised.
Again, I think that you can just try some new things and see if it works or changes anything. If it doesn't, then no big deal. I have tried some new things in my sitch (that are totally anti-DB) and it is the first reaction I have had from my WW in 9 months.
I understand what LITB is saying, but we can't copycat a "plan". It has to be adjusted for each of our situations. LITB is one of my heroes on this site and if I save my marriage, it will be by following some of what he did in his situation over the years.
Anyway, I wouldn't ask her anything about the article AT ALL. Let her bring it up if she does. I would not be surprised if she says nothing, but don't bring it up if she doesn't.
Do what works.
