Cally, How do I get past being told she doesn't fancy me. I guess a combination of denial and hope. HD is a sales job. For every sale you get ten knock backs. We are constantly trying to sell ourselves by improving the product and giving inducements (quality time, gifts and acts of service) in the hope that our customer will bite occasionally. LD is the buyer in a buyers market. Fending off the HD for as long as possible to get the best deal for the least cost.
WildeZBube, You and me are brothers. It seems we married twin sisters!
Cobra, We actually tried MC a couple of years back. We had 8 sessions with an organisation called "Relate" (it used to be "The marriage guidance council"). I found it useful and was able to pour out my heart to the C with no trouble at all but W just stonewalled her and described it as the worst experience of her life. So I don't think we will be doing that again.
SD - I like the idea of committing her. For you Texans: "You been drinkin' again Sue-Ellen?" "I’m committing you to the sanatorium".
