Quote: The credible-threat theory is part of what won the Nobel Prize for Thomas Schelling of the University of Maryland. According to Schelling, for a threat to work, you must have absolutely no doubt that it will happen.

NOW, there is a new feeling, this is a credible threat, thus my actions. Softly call that bluff by offering her the out and stating that I will not continue to remain in a non-loving, caring, affectionless, and sex as reward or duty marriage, and in doing so I am forced to make changes that need to keep me in "the game".

Through honest giving of my love I will recieve 10 fold in return.
Just because a person does not love you in the way you want, does not mean they do not love you!
