Question: 

Hi, Rick --

 

As the betrayed spouse, I loved the affair recovery course. It was excellent. My husband participated reluctantly. He never did some of the most important exercises, like making a full disclosure of conduct that apparently went on for half of our ten year marriage. We separately completed harboring hope/hope for healing. He also goes to a weekly 12 step group. Unfortunately, my husband has decided that he does not want to participate in married for life. He says he's willing to do the curriculum (not sure how sincere he is), but no more group calls. I know from my own therapy that I need to honor his choice, but I'm sad about it because I really liked the other couples and found the sessions we did do to be useful, including their support and feedback. I've looked through the balance of the curriculum, and it really does seem couple focused. I also don't want to make it awkward for the other couples if I participate alone. Should I just continue to focus on my own therapy at this point? Or try to participate in married for life without him?


Thank you.
