[QUOTE="Mikey, post: 61455, member: 3579"] MB, re: <div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body">In the meantime, it is truly important that neither of you make any threats you don't plan to follow through on.</div></div> Agreed. I did, in fact, intend to follow through on all my threats. My mistake (a big one) was not making sure that wife was on the same page with me before threatening the consequences. Made the threat, rules were broken, now wife and I are on separate sides of the fence on what to do. My mistake. It won't happen again, and I don't make any threats any more. Not until wife and I work this out. 'Till then, I have to be content with suggesting a punishment, then executing it if wife has no objections. But forward planning with wife on consequences (or rewards) for actions now seems a long way off. If I had to guess, I'll probably end up having to choose between letting wife handle things (and watch McWeedy continue to spiral down the whirlpool), or do what I (and others) think is best for McWeedy against the will of my wife, and risk breaking up my family (but giving McWeedy a better chance at a decent - if not great - future). Some choice. But I don't deny that it's my fault that I am where I am. Now all I can do is look forward and try to find the best path through the mess. Thanks, Mikey [/QUOTE]
