I agree 100%. I think the benefit for you is that the counselor can motivate your wife to leave the job and commit to the marriage. They can persuade her to get on board.

Thanks again MelodyLane and everyone I appreciate the support. I have a call scheduled with Dr. Harley tomorrow.

THG,

IN ADDITION to the telephone coaching, you might also try Marriage Builders Radio

You get to talk directly to Dr Harley (he's magnificent!) and you get a free Marriage Builders book sent to you for calling. Again, you don't HAVE to give your "real" name on the radio. Great programs! You can listen to them here on this site also... Marriage Builders Radio Archive

There's another thread with info on the MB Radio on the Announcment Forum. Want Dr Harley's Advice? MB Radio! Check it out!!

I've got no quarrel with the rest of your post, road, but remember: THG can't file a sexual harassment lawsuit. WW has to. I don't think she intends to do that. Not for a minute.

Sorry if my writting was not clear. English is my first language. I know, and meant that being WW is so worried about money her BH should just say time to lawyer up and sue.

A previous poster stated that separation is required to create castle walls to protect myself.

I think you may have misread the Boundaries post. The boundary itself creates the castle wall, whether you are separated or not.

That's why boundaries are cool.

And I am also very glad that you will be calling the Harleys. I think you will get terrific help and support from them.

Pepperband,
I would also like to hide a GPS but don't know where to start. I want one that just records so I can look at it. All I have found are expensive ones that you need to buy a plan for. I have to be careful about leaving a credit card trail. Any suggestions for original poster and myself?

Oh, gotcha - that would be a great thing, if WW would do it. I'll bet they would come up with a nice severance package for her.

Theroad, I didn't think she was picking on you and I wanted to ask the same question. The context of that statement looks like it was intended to say English is NOT my first language but you left out a word. That is why she asked. Yet, it seems to me that English is your first language, which is why your comment surprised me.

Before I chime in, here's what you originally said:
Quote

At the time, I thought you were being sarcastic with me. I just chose to ignore the sarcasm.

Sometimes it's hard to emote on a bulletin board. Maybe if you'd used a smiley it would have diluted what appeared to be a harsh comment?

I thought it was a humorous sarcastic comment about what a terrible language English is. smile
