It definitely takes tremendous sacrifice. But it can't be one-sided. It takes the effort of both spouses to truly reconstruct a marriage. But sometimes one spouse needs to pull the other along for a while until they can make up their mind. How long you can pull, is what might dictate the success of your efforts.<P>Right now, my wife is starting, ever so slightly, to pull along with me. But for the most part, she isn't making a concerted effort to reconcile our marriage.<P>This is where patience comes in. Have patience, Thinker.

GM is right.<P>After going thru all this and now moving into recovery (hopefully) with my W (WS), I can't overemphasize the importance of being patient. <P>Pushing them to get somewhere just doesn't work. Itis counter-productive.<P>Work on yourself and be patient. <P>E
