I don't believe I'm doing this but I agreed to try and work out my marriage. I have a bad feeling I'm going to wish I hadn't done this.
Then perhaps you shouldn't do it. Intuition is often the best guide, even if it's the harder choice. I don't know your situation, so I have no clue if it's a good thing to try to work it out. I'm just saying your intuition might be right. Hoping for the best for you, no matter what that is.

I think it's a reasonable decision, Ivory. You have to change the ways you interact, though. Don't look at it as working on your existing marriage; look at it as starting a brand new one!
On that note, I'd like to recommend you a couple of books by Michelle Weiner-Davis:
Well, even idiots make the right move on occasion. Mind you, I'm not agreeing that you're an idiot. But, if you're going to try to work out the marriage, then my guess is you should stop calling yourself an idiot and really make a commitment to the process. Best of luck!!!
It's obviously her choice, but I'd recommend her to take advice from happily married people ONLY!
Yeah - at least Davis has been married 30 years - but somehow applying lessons learned from books to real life just seems very difficult if not impossible. It's like all the emails I get from people wanting to know which DVD or tape to get to learn t'ai chi at home - you just can't do it.

I didn't say it was easy (we ol' dogs have hard time with new tricks), but the lessons are quite simple and applicable - of course, provided you deal with another decent and fairly sane human being who wants improvement...

The simplest lessons are often the hardest to learn.
