Tesoro,

You can search for threads in your profile. But this one gets bumped into the thread often. It’s is also in the healing library in case you need to find it.

What are some fair consequences for tt &/or minimizing of the truth & leaving out important info?

The only consequence I’ve been coming up with is speaking to an attorney (which is a last resort & not what I want to jump to right away). So what are some more immediate consequences that can be used in an effort to R?

Tesoro,

They can be varied based upon the severity of the violations. No sleeping in marital bed, Not living in the home, certainly one could be a polygraph. if your getting Trickle tell that is another. I had my wife write all of it out, anything she could not verbally say. Then I held her to an agreement if there was more she was getting a polygraph. to this day, the hardest thing I had to read but I have not seen any incongruence since that day.

Imagine a ship trying to set sail while towing an anchor. Cutting free is not a gift to the anchor. You must release that burden, not because the anchor is worthy, but because the ship is.
