embarrassed to tell you, but... (wife, man, couple, internet)

i'm one of those guys who has spent money on these on-line "save my marriage" programs. not a lot of money, but money nonetheless.

they play pretty good on the desparation of man.

QUESTION: has anyone here purchased a similar program and "boom" it worked?

i'm a captive market. what's out there?

Stop wasting your money. I told you to check out some self help books from the library. Now get to it!

artsy-
ok, how about a short read list
thanks

What about counseling? Even if just you go.....

[artsyguy]

I already gave you a list.

I would also be embarrassed about spending money on a "save my marriage" internet scam....lol. Talk about exploiting the confused and vulnerable.

lola,
i have been in counseling, individual and couples, i fired my last counselor after a disastrous individual session last week. interviewed a new one last week, scheduled for this week.

funnty thing, my wife semi-reluctantly committed to go. i say semi-reluctantly, but she called me last week and said "where are we supoosed to be right now?" i said "huh" she said "appointment with dr. rice." oh yeah, i'm not seeing him any more. she knew the circumstances and said "oh yeah" but it was nice to hear that she remembered the appt. time, like it was on her mind. maybe she was a little more committed that i thought. anyway, i'm gonna see the new one individually for a couple weeks, then wife has agreed to come on board. well see...

Well, have you tried talking/discussing with your wife the problem?

I agree, those online crap would not be my first option and there is no such thing as a 'boom' fix. A relationship takes work, communication, and sacrifice.

I might add don't overdo it and become obsessed with the relationship. You don't want to replace an addiction with anther addiction which is what it looks like you could end up doing.
