NSR,<P>In Florida we have seperate maintanintce, althoutgh neither one of us has filed for it, I give her a bit more than is required, do no I'm not directly paying for hte lease.Custody is not an issue, Tuesday and Thursday and every other weekend. she say the kids have only met the OM in a group and i believe her, the kids are the most important thing to her. She actually said the OM is on thiin ice every day because of the kids. Apparently he is really pursuing her. Which is good because she'll get annoyed and back off. She really dos'nt have much spare time ofr him, so his needs won't be met, and we all know what happens then. <BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by NSR:<BR><B>JK...<P>Since it is in her name you can't...<P>Are you paying for this lease?...<BR>If so... break the lease... and show her the real world...<BR>...a less expensive life-style, especially with your "new" job is in order.<P>Again...<BR>...if custody is going to be a issue...<BR>...you need to work on that now!<BR>...legal help may be needed.<P>I too will be gone for a while.<P>Prayers.<P> [Linked Image from marriagebuilders.com]<P>Jim</B><HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>

NSR, Any Ideas for a plan? She won't look at MB, although she did speak to Steve once and committed to complete the LB and EN questionair's, has yet to do so. Im working on me and concentrating on not LB's and treatingher like a queen, I think its paying offf some as she flirted with me today. <P>JK<P> <BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by NSR:<BR><B>No...<BR>...you have to give her money...<BR>...she's your W and she's taking care of you kid!<P>...but work out a plan where you can move back together...<BR>...especially before the separation becomes too natural</B> for her.<P> [Linked Image from marriagebuilders.com]<P>Jim<HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>

NSR, Again thanks, I will tomorrow in the AM. I'm just getting her to agree to do family things together, I don't want to push and she is very sensitive to that. I have been told by the Mother-in-law that this guy is not big deal just let it run its course and don't push as she is waiting to see changes in me.<P>JK<BR> <BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by NSR:<BR><B>JK,<P>I'm not a counselor...<BR>...and I would recommend you bring thisup with your counselor...<P>Write a warm loving letter...<BR>...with a plan (within one-two weeks)...<BR>...to move back together.<P>Yes bring up the unity of your family...<P>But don't beg, or plead!<P> [Linked Image from marriagebuilders.com]<P>Jim</B><HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>

NSR, Again thanks for communicating, you are a great help! [Linked Image from marriagebuilders.com] I think (hope) she is beginning to see the changes, I think guilt follows next? No more LB's coming from me!!! I'm workingon the EN''s but need help from Steve H., She has yet to complete the EN ?? for him, and he has not asked me to do it from her prespective yet, i assume thats coming soon. Also, everyone tells me to patient, which in counter intutitive for me.<BR>JK<P> <BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by NSR:<BR><B>Only you can judge...<BR>...if she "sees" the changes in you.<P>Your right in NOT moving back together...<BR>...if there are too many LBs... or you have no way of meeting the ENs!<P>Prayers...<P> [Linked Image from marriagebuilders.com]<P>Jim</B><HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>
