I think my time here is done. If you feel comfortable, I'd like to keep in touch with you via email since you have had similiar experiences as me. You can reach me at Greengablesmb@gmail.com

For anyone else who stumbles upon this thread...**********edit******** While I subscribe to Dr. Harley's theories in general, I personally feel uncomfortable applying them alone to every situation. I have found other experts insights valuable as well, if only as a contrast. I'm not good at joining cohesive groups, and I cannot just accept the standard issue theory of the day. I like to poke around and see what other people say and compare ideas. Since I'm no longer in a situation to need advice on marriage, and my insights and advice are often unwelcome or attacked, I bow out.

Hope you won't bow out. MB needs lots of different points of view. Otherwise it gets boring.

GG,
You don't have to tow the Harley line to post and be effective here. I have benefited immensely by your experience and insight.

MB is just one perspective; behaviorally driven. No silver bullet exists for happy and healthy relationships.

I think that I enjoy and benefit by the banter; the challenging of my thinking and behaviors. When I feel attacked/unwelcome, I am learning something..... good or bad. Don't personalize it.

Hope you stick around.

GG, although we haven't much communications with each other, I remember learning a lot from your insights. You have shared so much of your life here I shall miss you like a friend.

Hey GG,

I hope you are doing well personally. I think you've contributed a lot to MB while you were here. I respect your decision, and you have to do what is best for you. I wish you nothing but blessings in whatever life has in store for you.
