R U done with your plan A? If yes, then consider plan B. Best to read up on it 1st.

Hint: T/d a good plan B, your mind & heart needs t/b in sync.

No more bending over backwards.... that causes a back ache - OUCH! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />

Hi folks
Things are getting worse after first MC session,says she cant do this anymore and wants out (divorce),she is in deep withdrawal and is becoming more depressed each day.I have been plan Aing for months, taken her two hols abroad, doing everything at home,all the chores,bent over backwards and its getting worse.I look at her and she is just a shell of who she was, she has been on and off prozac the last six years, OMG what have I done to you. Would a 180 do any good
and how do you go about it when you are living together,is it better to separate and go deep or do I just keep on loving her and hope for the best. I'm at my wits end.

Marriage counseling where the couple are together the first times usually creates MORE bitterness and animosity, which is why HArley never does it. What is the MC going to do to resolve the problem and save the marriage? What is the MC's plan?

She's not in withdrawl...she's still in the affair.

She sees him at work. Her feelings for him will never go away if she remains in contact with him.

What are you doing to get her to change jobs? Tell her that THAT is the real source of her unhappiness. To me, that needs to be your main focus right now.
