her mind is on survival mode. she knows that at this point in her life, if he doesn't take her back, her future happiness is compromised. she doesn't really care about solving issues. she just wants to secure her positioning and will use whatever tricks she got left up her sleeve. Now she's on the God tip because she figures if she can convince him leaving her would be like going against the will of a higher power, he'll be forced to stay. It's probably somewhat sincere on a conscious level. but it's still manipulation. and he knows this cause he feels it in his gut and his intuition.
She's not looking to save/fix her marriage. she's looking for an angle to secure better positioning. this just happens to be her best option right now and she's scrambling cause that option is closing right in front her eyes. She already showed her true colors...
fukk champs bullshyt reasoning & start over or you'll regret it
Lol, not my style to follow you dawg
marriage is a weird thing.fukk champs bullshyt reasoning & start over or you'll regret it
in this case, she is clearly manipulating him. you're saying she will only admit her wrongs if he opens up to her first. If he opens up to her now, all she will learn from the whole thing is that the way to get him to open up is to manipulate. he will only be inviting more manipulation in his life that way and he'll be even more open to it. Opening up to someone showing you exactly how low they'll go to manipulate you, he might as well tie the rope around is neck.Could be, could not be. I just don't want dude to leave his marriage because of what some jaded dudes on a message board are saying. If everyone else in his life is telling him to run away as quickly as possible, then okay, because they actually see his situation from an unbiased perspective. We are only getting one side of things from him, and that's not enough for me to tell him to leave his marriage and talk bad about the mother of his kids.
You act like I'm the only one who told him to keep his family together. Get off my dikk son.
Your s/n been followin' behind mine a lil too much lately.

Whether he leaves his wife or stays, that's up to him. But it has nothing to do with messageboard people or whatever. it's about rationally thinking about what's going on, who's playing what role and what their intent/motivation is, what tricks they are using etc. using that info and following your gut. deep down you know what the right move is. All i'm saying is that from what i've read on the posts, my gut is telling me if i was in that situation, i'd leave ASAP and i provided my personal reasoning. that's all it is.
she wants to get back with you BUT says this?![]()
it's twisted logic.
if you get back with her or if you open up to her at this point, you will just be teaching her that manipulation is the way to go if she wants you to open up.
You misinterpret the way i use "teach". i don't mean it like he should hold a grudge or have his revenge. Matter of fact i'm against holding grudges because it's self-inflicted mental poison.Maybe, may be not breh.
I think you are too focused on "teaching someone a lesson" and not a marriage. From the things I've seen Steve post on here, he's not all innocent in the ordeal. Not gonna rehash old things, but certain things he's posted have given me the impression that he has been happier about the prospect of the single lifestyle for a lot longer than when he and his wife actually finalized their decision to divorce.
