I encourage you to not to MC right now. First of all, you have a lot of work on yourself to do first. I do not think you are ready. If you were to consult with someone like Dr. Phil, I honestly think he'd tell you the same thing. Get yourself healthy FIRST/

Second, MC is always a bad idea unless the WAS is committed to making the MR work. Your W is not there. I think you would be crazy to think MC can help when she is leaving "dates" with you to be with an OM. WAWs in particular are notorious for agreeing to MC so they can later tell people, especially their children, "we tried EVERYTHING, including MC."

Lastly, MC is pursuit and pressure. That is the last thing you want to apply to her right now.
