There was an excellent show on 2-6-12 about lingering resentment after an affair. Harley makes the case that recovery has not been complete if resentment lingers.

Go to 9:00 into radio clip

continued here.....

edited to add: if you are too silly to hear these radio clips go to the archives and pull up the clips for 2-6 and you can hear the clips!

Very good points, all around.

I've never had any problem with it! Personally, I'm surprised the women know how to get around it.

I did not assume you were talking about men when you said "silly," that's all I'm saying...


If you are serious about saving your marriage, you can't get it all on this forum. You've got to listen to the Marriage Builders Radio show, every day. Install the app!

It was a good clip. I specially love the kudos to the moderators.

I also love that he says anyone can do it, but you have to make the choice to.

I find Windows 7 has a hard time with the links. I use my Windows server to listen to everything. Works wonders!

It will just have to remain a mystery, like how to iron a shirt, or why "Oprah" wasn't cancelled after one show!

HEE HEE!!!!!

I don't have time to comment properly on the rest of this - headed out the door.

Alls I will say is this: when you men can drive, put on makeup, and drink a cup of coffee all at the same time, THEN I'll believe you're as talented as we are!!!

LOLOLOL

This is a very interesting clip. I have a small problem understanding it though. In yesterdays's, Feb 7, radio show, Dr. Harley addresses a husband's independent behavior with gaming without his pregnant wife's enthusiastic agreement. Dr. Harley comments that if the husband continues the independent behavior, the wife will have a level of resentment that lasts for years.

Isn't a secret second life and an affair the mega-example of independent behavior? So, why wouldn't there be an expectation that there could still be resentment in the future?

I can drive, operate my MP3 player, text my wife, and take notes on what I'm listening to all at the same time.

Actually, this is a very serious subject. My W discovered my A and other dalliances recently. Besides a long-term interest in porn (mostly on a computer), I had a short PA w someone that I worked closely with, over 10 yrs ago. She pretty much discovered my cheating ways with this person, within weeks after it ended. Since then, over the years, I've felt the need to see several prostitutes (about 9 times) and visited a few massage parlors for the full treatment. The first A, I really have no excuses for, the opportunity was there, and I did it. There was no love, maybe infatuation, but that person is long gone, and NC since. These more recent "events" I just felt a lack of SF from my W, and wandered out. Tried talking to her, but it didn't help much.
Now we've got a big mess on our hands. I've come clean on all of it, but she's pretty hurt. She has a long memory, and I'm at a loss as to how I'm going to fix this-I'm afraid she's going to hold a long grudge - she seems to be good at that. Any ideas?
