drpeppertx, trust me, it won't be a waste of money.

Glad you explained that. A call to the Harley's is expensive - almost $300. But it would be well-worth the money for your family's sake.

I still sense that your wife is reeling from the shock and despair of all of this. Maybe she is done, but I think she needs to do some more counseling, preferably with the Harleys.

Truthfully, it took me months (almost a year) to get over the terrible hurt, and I threw my WH out on D-day.

$300? I thought it was $185 a session? When did it go up?

Well darn, Melody, wish I'd known that. Maybe I could have saved about $200,000. on the divorce and property settlement. Sheesh, why didn't you tell me?

He was miserable at his job and resented my success.
Brokenlove this is what I hear here....Jealousy. It will kill any relationship. Men are the competitive type, only being competitive with a wife/spouse doesn't work. (Who has the best job? Who brings home the most money? Who does the most work?) Boasting & Bragging about ones accomplishment to make another feel lower is destructive. Making the wife feel low because she has made a great accomplishment is also destructive. It's not a loving thing to do. I have seen marriages break up for this reason alone.

Compeitiveness (whos the best, and does the most) never works in a marriage.

Being jealous of anothers accomplishments doesn't work in a marriage.

There is much more here other than "no SF."


Love, Lady
