So I did a DB telephone consultation last Monday and one of the key actions I was told to do was to put more laughter in my life...hmmmm. Timely.
Also told to do a 180 on holding off divorce mediation. Hard pill to swallow, but not doing it means dueling lawyers which is far worse. I'm up against the Virgina law clock, maybe.
I think the counselor thought my W was more a walk away spouse more than MLC, said I was using last resort technique and to continue. True. I wanted to send the superb DVD to my W but he said no, that would be chasing, at this time. I thought the DVD was superb, Michelle talking about exactly some of the words my W has said.
Trying to be more lighthearted in my conversations with W and still be genuine. Eye contact. Ask more questions. Add mystery. (And pray much...)
