Update:

WW has agreed to speak with Steve Harley on thursday. I am not however getting my hopes up as she's only doing it for me. I told her (steve told me to say this) that I don't want to be believing in MB if its a load of c**p. So I asked her to at least check it out.

If after speaking with Steve and she still won't recommit then I will be going to Plan B shortly after - early jan. At that stage I will be after doing all I can and it just might have the added bonus of changing her from a freeloader into a buyer

WOW, that is good news. It doesn't matter WHY she is speaking to Steve, just that she is. Just like it doesn't matter WHY they come back, just so they do. All the rest can be worked out later.

Well thats what I'm hoping. But really she's only doing it so she can say "thats c**p so can you please get over it now".

Who knows, Steve knows what he's dealing with and if anyone can talk to her its him.

Got to have faith!

Vladie - Steve gave you a plan and told you how to get WW to talk to him!! IT WORKED!! I think Steve is much better than you realise although WW will have to play!

Last week it was "she won't talk to him" "why would she talk to him" "what can he do". One step at a time!

Great news! Expect a reaction that shoots MB pricipals down, along with "what a crock".....BUT KNOW the seeds have been planted!!

Steve is great...and knowing his experiences and techniques will be on full display to your WW....that's just what you want!!!

Thanks for stopping by my thread. I'm hoping Steve can plant those seeds and maybe get her to agree to 'do some research' with him.

Fingers crossed! Drop by again if you get the chance

Update:

WW spoke to Steve Harley last night. She was in the phone for an over an hour. It was one in the morning here when she finished. She said "my head is ready to explode, I guess you feel like that all the time. He is a really nice man - I don't think he's a d**khead. I didn't agree with everything he said and I challenged him a few times" (this was said jokingly).

So thats it folks, not sure yet what she took from the call but will no doubt find out soon. I'm feeling good though - I thought she would hang up after ten minutes or say "what a load of c**p!

So I am surprised. Comments???

This board is fantastic but please everyone CALL STEVE HARLEY NOW. HE IS A LEGEND!

Bump for a reply of two.

Anyone have any idea what Steve would have discussed with WW?

Thanks

Often he will ask the WS if they agree that the best scenario would be for them to be in love with and happy with the father of their children. They will usually agree that that would be best, but then go on to list all the reasons that it won't work. But he lets them know that it CAN happen.

So hang in there, and give it some time to sink in. In the meantime, I would just be relaxed and happy, and showing her the man she fell in love with.
