You all know him.  You've been polite, told him it's just not working out. You've TRIED therapy, couples counseling, accupuncture, and couples' yoga.  There is NOTHING that will save this marriage.  No hard feelings, but the love is gone.

But you're stuck with "Let's Work It Out" guy.

For "Let's Work It Out" guy, there is no limit to what you can do to save this marriage.  He calls you a quitter when you want to call it quits; he says, "How can you just give up on us?" trying to make YOU look like the bad guy.  He says things like, "Don't we owe it to ourselves to try and work it out, just one more time?" But aren't twenty-seven one-more-times just too many?

"Let's Work It Out" guy will try to make YOU feel bad for being the one to leave.  He (or, perhaps she) will beg you to stay, buy you presents, and tell you that love knows no bounds.

Don't get me wrong; it's always a good idea to try and fix your marriage if it's falling apart, before it's broken.  Using divorce as an easy out is usually a bad idea.  But sometimes enough is enough.  If you're the type of person who has a hard time putting your foot down then you might wind up stuck married to "Let's Work It Out" guy.

Chances are, "Let's Work It Out" guy might mean well.  He might just be head over heels in love with you and think it too unbearable to lose you forever.  But if you stay against your will, you'll be doing both of you a disservice.

Anybody have dealings with "Let's Work It Out" guy?
