Crash. Burn. Surprise!

I took my turn at the counselor. Got home, called Mrs. Ray, told her what we talked about. The counselor told me it seems everything is going great! We discussed some issues, the counselor thought I was doing OK with them, even when I said I was not following her directions exactly, but I explained why and that I felt the desired results were achieved. Prognosis: Soon we will be happily back together.

At home, I called Mrs. Ray and told her this. Mrs. Ray was expecting that the counselor get on me that I had not followed her directions. (a rubber band on my wrist to remind me about some behavior, I was supposed to snap the band when I needed a reminder. I did not want to snap the band, but the knowledge it was on my wrist served the purpose.) I had forgotten a few topics that I had promised Mrs. Ray we would discuss. [I'm skipping some details here] This makes me a liar for not bringing them up. (I forgot!) Lying is an issue Mrs. Ray has with me.

Bottom line: Mrs. Ray is about ready to throw in the towel. The counselor was a waste of time & money. I continue to lie and continue to work to control or force Mrs. Ray to do "my way". Looks like we're back to Square One.

New prognosis: our future together is either NOT, or hanging by a thread. I'm calling the counselor tomorrow to see what we can do about this.

Mrs. Ray was planning a great Valentine dinner (wonderful menu - really romantic) I am still expected for dinner (so we can talk), but I'm not sure just how romantic this will be!
