My situation is much like TC's in the Q&A column. It mentions that this type of situation can be overcome, but requires much more work. I am willing to do whatever it takes. The only positive I got going for me is she has agreed to sit with a counselor for just her and I. Also, she suggested sitting with a counselor as a family with our seven year old daughter. I just wanted to hear of a success story and any thoughts anyone can give to help through this tough period in our lives.<p>Thanks JO

jo,<p>Search the archives under my user name: there are posts where I tell my story.<p>The short answer is that yes, you can do it. You should start working on your marriage right away; regardless of your wife's willingness to join you. If she starts to see benefits from your work, you've been successful. And if she agrees to join you, GREAT! It's a lot easier working on this as a couple.<p>Remember the 'correct' order of this. Eliminate lovebusters first. Then work on emotional needs. It takes time and a consistant effort to have this be successful: you can't get angry after a couple weeks. I suggest that you plan on at least 6 months of effort.
