Mark,

I'm gonna catch up on your whole sitch. Just wanted to reiterate what someone else wrote, "the opposite of love is indifference" and NOT anger. Important point. There is hope. As for the mediator sil, how about hiring a neutral party instead? I know money is involved but I have not seen one good result from family "mediated" sessions unless the family member is a shrink/pastor AND really really good and really really objective...come to think of it, I have never seen it work with a family member. Guess it does help to have a "witness" to the talks if your wife revises things too insanely...other than that, what is the goal for YOU, in these talks? IF your ultimate goal is reconciliation AND a better M, just see if you really are getting closer to it with these talks.

I will post more later but wanted to give you a thumbs up, from a woman's point of view. There's hope. She wouldn't need her sister's approval if she were totally confident in her choice, or wanted out and KNEW it. Hang in there.
