Perfect. DJB, please do not post on your wife's thread, and vice-versa. I would also suggest that the two of you stay off each others' threads for now, okay?

Thank you Delta for reposting this.

DJB, is there a reason you didn't answer this?

I will tell you if you were to do phone coaching with Steve Harley, he does not move on to the meeting ENs part of recovery until the WS has completed some steps to help the BS feel more safe, one being the above.

If you want I can post the youtube video clip where he talks about this (what steps the WS needs to take)...

Hi Delta, this the end of the "Infidelity" video on the home page here and it is also on YouTube. This was taken from my post on the Lurker thread.

Steve Harley (beginning at 4:57):
"As you have just heard infidelity is an emotionally traumatic event. A marriage that has experienced infidelity has been severely injured and must be properly treated.

Can you treat the injury without the help of a coach or counselor? It is possible but very difficult because the actual treatment must be carried out by the one who had the affair. Unless the wayward spouse really understands the details of how to successfully treat the wound, I strongly advise against doing it on your own.

When looking for someone to help your marriage recovery successfully make sure the plan includes at least the following elements..."
1) NC
2) WS assumes FULL responsbility for their OWN actions
3) Reveal Details of the A at soonest appropriate time
4) Detailed Plan to Independently Prevent Reoccurence of another A (EPs)
5) Detailed Plan to Fall in Love & Stay in Love

Thanks. I actually have seen this video. I was confused when you said Steve Harley.

The person in this video is Dr. Willard (Bill) Harley, the one on MB Radio and the author of the MB Books.

His son, Steve Harley, is one of the coaches at the MB Counseling Center.

I had them mixed up for a quite a while.

Steve appears in the video towards the end, I put the time code above. He goes through what the WS needs to do to "treat" the injury...
