Married probably longer than 99.9% here, work at it.

How long you been married?

 

[Obsessed]

I'm going to forecast that if I am still married by this time next year it will be a miracle.

I don't expect to be living in the same home by Christmas.

It's been a good run.

But thank you Yankee.

I'm at a point I don't care. I've grown immune. I started distancing myself when I saw what was coming.

Maybe God has different plans. I don't know. But with me, right now, I could care less.

My boy is all I give a damn about.

We have talked today. I brought up what you suggested. She's game.

Due to the busy scheledule over the next week ( grand baby coming Tuesday) we are going to attempt this. ( hopefully next weekend) I feel that the biggest issue is finances ( as I'm sure it is with most) we had to cover my daughters bills for the baby.

Wish us the best

put the finances on the back burner and give it a shot to save the marriage the $4 to $5k it cost for that week is a pittance compared to the alternative, plus you will love each other again

I wish you the best

Tough break buddy. Make sure you're sure.

 

[RockyTop411]

Obsessed, I don't know you that well other than a couple of times we've talked in here but I wish you the best. You seem like a cool, down to earth guy. Also makes me happy to hear you still see the big picture (your son) throughout all of this. Sadly, some people I know take their anger and frustration out on their kids. Good luck bud.

That's a lot of money for a weekend. I sure hope that kind of thing works.

[The skeptic in me wonders how many long-standing issues a couple can resolve in one weekend, but what do I know?]

Anyway, best wishes to you @Obsessed.

Yeah it's high. She is looking at another program as well that our insurance covers. May be the route we have to go. My daughters pregnancy was not expected and has drained our accounts.

I've started several replies, then deleted them. Mostly because I don't "know" you, and your marriage is none of my business. But I have to say this.

First of all, good for you and your wife that you're looking for answers/solutions. There isn't a guide book to the perfect marriage. There is just no such thing. It wasn't designed to be perfect.

Second of all, crap happens. Ya know? It just does. Kids. Cars. Illness. Houses. Jobs. All of the life things that suck up your money and make things hard. It happens whether you're married or not. You can't plan for everything that life is going to throw at you.

Third, and this is the biggie, are you committed to each other or not? Because when you are committed, you walk the road together. Sometimes it is nice, and there are flowers to smell along the way and bacon for breakfast. And sometimes you walk straight into a pile of crap. It is on your shoes, her shoes, it stinks to high heaven. One of you may have been leading the other, or neither of you saw it before you stepped in it. It doesn't matter how it happened, you both have dirty shoes. You clean it up and go on. End of story. It's life.

In regard to the counseling, I will make a suggestion and you can take it or leave it. Weekend to Remember. My husband and I have attended one every single year of our marriage. We've been nine times. It's the same message over and over, and we both get something different out of it every single year. We do it because it is a refresher course. Sometimes it's a wake up call to one of us. It's a tune up. But... and this is the thing ....it is ALWAYS relevant! There has not been a single time that I left there without hearing something that related to what was going on in our marriage right then.

Sorry, this got longer than I meant it to. If you want more info about the conference, my email is girlvolly@comcast.net.

God bless.

I was married a few hours before the Syracuse game in 1998...then proceeded to drink beer with the groomsmen and watch the game... forced her to become a Vol fan(she's from Iowa)...been thinking about getting a divorce and then turning around and getting married to her again in case it was good luck the last time,we did win the nat'l Championship that year after all...

anyone married any length of time can attest to the utter BS I just spewed about forcing your wife to do anything...lol

but 16 going on 17 years with 1 13yr old son and 1 3yr old and 1 yr old daughters...she puts up with my BS and I deal with her flaws...
its normal for us,and some of our friends marriages,but for others it may not be
what they signed up for...never divorced...

It's a full week, and your totally engaged for the week
I wish my ex would have gone

But like Volly said you both have to be committed and I think in my case once she told me she wanted one the counseling we did was just a check the box thing for her so she can say she did it

5k or thereabouts? where is it held, Ritz Carlton w/ Wolfgang Puck as master chef? Sounds like a case of taking advantage of people in need IMO. :hi:
