I did ask Husband to read Divorce Remedy. I don't quite remember if it was before or after the conversation in which he admitted to stalling out of fear.
But, I think it helped a lot. It has given us a common language with which to address issues.
And I think it showed him that our relationship problems were perfectly normal and conquerable.
HOWEVER, he did tell me that when he first started reading, he got mad at me.
But he did say, he got over it because he realized I was doing everything I could to fix things.
Is this something that would work for Mr. Wonderful? Would he be willing to read the book? Or would he get mad and stay mad?
I think you handled it very well, BETS.
And I suspect that you are embarrased about crying in front of him...but I do think that since you've been so strong, that it was important for him to see how deeply this affects you.
I think this is important to do one time.
I know this is a very rough time for you, but I am so excited for you. The end of limbo is in sight.
