I'm a newbie here but offer the following. Others can tell me if I'm offbase.
I have read your posts, often with interest, sometimes with frustration that you seem to have unrealistic expectations given where you are at right now. Again I would recommend joint counseling.
Further, note that Michele says in her advice to newcomers:
Quote: If you post on other people’s threads, and you should, the emphasis should be on helping that person find solutions. You can discuss your own situation to indicate how well you understand what s/he is going through, but if you want advice, seek it in your own thread. Also, feel free to start a new thread when a new situation arises or you have new questions.
Especially with your having changed the subject line from "LD spouse needs help" to "Not sure you would be LD to me" it feels a bit like my original post has been hijacked. And since I don't have a lot of time to post right now, it could get closed before I have much of a chance.
Why don't you start your own post, since you have a lot to say and time to say it?
cheers, Doglover
