The statistic gives false hope because the people who both WANT to work on their M are the ones that go to all the followup sessions. It's not the other way around where the people who make it through the sessions save their M. Do you understand the difference? Your W is both feet out the door and this won't change that.

I can't say this enough- DROP ALL EXPECTATIONS.
I hear you loud and clear. I needed the calibration. You nailed it on my hope if we were to complete the program. The 80% success rate is for couples that BOTH want to do the work. I am at an extreme handicap, a 1% long shot.

I figure that somewhere along the line, during the weekend, post sessions, or some other awakening, a change in her mindset would need to occur for things to swing back in my favor. She would need to want to work on the MR. Otherwise, we will end up in the 20% category of those that finish and don’t save their MR.

Either way, I’ll go, enjoy my time there, and live with the outcome.
