Is it?...certainly not my undersatnding of LRT. I dont see "ignore your spouse" wriiten about in the context of LRT in DB.
I don’t see it either. Yeah. I think that it’s desperation. I think people think that they’ve already tried everything, so there’s nothing left but the Last resort. They’re looking for a silver bullet.
But, by definition, LRT is Last resort.
I like what people have been saying about First resort. In a nutshell, get your own head together first.
A relationship is between two people. You can’t fix the other, so start with yourself. Once you are “fixed”, you’re 50% done.
What about the other half? There’s nothing you can do about him/her. All you can do is patiently wait for the day when s/he is willing to work on his/her half of the R. If s/he is willing – or more accurately – becomes willing, then you’re on your way. If not, then you most certainly haven’t wasted your time by improving yourself.
