My story is under the thread of "Not sure where I belong on this site, please help". Can anyone offer some insite into what I can expect.
I'm thinking about splitting the session with my wife who had an EA that i think ended about 9 months ago. She is still struggling with her happiness in our marriage. Any ideas, thoughts, pointers, please & thank you!

I'm doing MC with Steve Harley. The first session, he spoke with us for a few minutes, then talked with H for about 45 minutes, then with me for 15 minutes. I had to leave the room, I wasn't allowed to know what they were talking about. Then the same thing for H when my turn came.
He had a specific plan for us and he would walk us through it step by step. We were assigned 'homework' that we needed to get done before the next session.
Being that you're doing the session with Jennifer, I don't know how it will differ and whether she'll have a different plan for you or not, depending on your situation.
Good luck!

DDay 9/5/09, started Plan A
Exposed 9/13/09, started preparing for Plan B
H finally confessed and agreed to NC 9/27/09, never went to Plan B
Still a MB rookie, but striving to learn more and put it into practice every day... w/ FWH along for the ride

The scheduler mentioned that people do that sometimes, I see some advantages to it, ie she wont be worried about me sitting there say "see I told you you were going to have to leave your job..." Which I wouldn't do but she may be hesitant to be competely honest if I'm present as well..
