They're going to do whatever they want to do regardless of what a counselor, or their family member, or their friends recommend. They'll seek out the advice that validates their decision based on feelings and disregard the advice and people who challenge their views.
This is so true, got a friend who still blames a handful of people for his EW’s abrupt departure and his BD happened 5 years prior to mine. I leaned on him for support at first in my situation but came to realize that his narrative and bitterness was holding me back.
Br4nd0n,
At this time no outside influences are going to change her feelings about you or your relationship. I know how much we want it to. My own EW shunned our S22 when he met with her and begged her to get counseling. He told her she was mentally unstable. That was the last time he’s spoken to her in person (2 years ago).
Listen to the vets, get your emotions in check and GAL like a madman.
