I stopped him having dinner here and def stopped him coming around for games and hanging out at night with us to play board games or whatnot so I guess that’s a good start 😀I’ll get better I promise
I didn’t even think of the whole drop dead date. That was December for me. But yes I think that’s reasonable I can’t be in limbo for years I do like that idea. May I ask how did your story end up? I’m so sorry your Wife did that to you.


My wife eventually came around and decided she wanted to stay and work on the marriage. My turnaround was relatively quick, which is very uncommon. However, I want to warn you that reconciliation isn't for the faint of heart. It's lots of hard work, second guessing, and is it's own rollercoaster ride. I pray you can get there, but when you do prepare for a lot of tears in that process as well.

I never made it to the drop dead date, but if we had I was prepared, thanks to DBing, to do what I needed to.

I agree, if you put a stop to that stuff it is a really good start! Well done!
