I've been following your posts. We're in pretty similar shark infested waters. Personally, I don't see it as a backslide. There was no ultimatum, just delivery of information. Breaking off with om's appears to be VERY difficult. My w has done it a number of times and always seems to somehow reconnect. I'd say watch her reaction real carefully. If she gives any positive feedback about the marriagebuilder material, give her another small nugget. If she doesn't let it pass in silence. You've made your point and I'm sure Kent is right....distance. Such a delicate balance of approaching and distancing at this stage!
