Quote: It is good that there is a place to trade ideas and get some advice from 'real' people who have been through or are dealing with similar issues. Thanks to all!
andyndallas, I had a few friends I talked with and aired my marrital frustrations with. At first it helped and they were helpful. Problem is, they were not in the same position and I could see the friendship cool. I also was not comfortable bringing up some of the very personal issues we were having. People here are more in tune with what is going on in troubled marriages, have read the books, and are usually like minded in that they want to repair the M.
I found this BB and I can say it is more of a help than I ever expected. People going through a variety of problems, some simmilar, some at different stages, and different aproaches or ideas to solve problems.
It's kind of like doing a biology project that takes several months to complete. If you only have one sample, you do not notice the changes every day. If you start a new sample every week and compare week 2's sample with week 6's sample you can see the changes.
I am using the biology project to point out to you when you feel or think not much is changing in your R with your W that is the one sample experiment model. Changes are difficult to notice. If you look at where other people started and see where they are now, you see changes.
