My WW has finally agreed to come to counseling with me. We are going on Wednesday night. Should be interesting. Can anyone speak from experience on the best way to approach the situation with a counseler? She is still seeing OM and does not want to talk about reconciliation.

parkem, that's awesome! I've been wondering about you <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" />
Do you know if the counselor is pro-marriage?

My counseler is very pro-marriage. She want's nothing more than for us to find a way to work stuff out.

Stress to the MC that NC is crucial. As long as she is seeing the OM, she cannot or will not reconnect with you. Your WW may try to negotiate her ability to keep her "best Friend" as a friend, but you must say absolutely NO. Be strong and firm on this point. Good Luck.

I agree that as long as she is seeing OM she wont reconnect. I think she will get pissed off and leave the counseling session if MC were to suggest NC because my WW keeps insisting that it is over. Even though she still hasn't filed.
But who knows? I am meeting with the MC first by myself to discuss how to approach my WW.
