Starting Over Talk - Peer Coaching Support Site

He told her to breathe after she left the podiun after her BOR...she was very upset still and crying at the table when it was Simons turn to go up...She continued crying and Lou told her "stop, take a breath..quit it"...It was no big deal. but as usual, many ppl take offense to the silliest little things and turn them around and into something much bigger than they really are and certainly bigger than it was ever intendeed to be..Geez..he told his friend to stop crying and take a breath..BIg Deal...thats exactly what she needed to do...and it worked..

I was so proud of Lou at today's BOR. He really opened his heart to Jennifer when he said that he was going to be present and a willing participant in their marriage. He made me tear up when he was talking about the letter from the housemates.

2cents, I also loved it when he said they should all get a house together. It showed that he felt totally accepted and loved by everyone. Awesome.

Here! Here! 2 cheers for payenanny.

I am so glad to have found this forum. Lou and Jennifer"s marriage is so much like mine and my husband's, I identify with Lou, my husband is the responsible one who helps keep me grounded. I see Lou making great progress and I am dissapointed that there are only three more episodes of "couples bootcamp" I really wanted to see more focus on Jennifer and to see the rest of the couples grow. I thought that what Lou said to Cheryl at the BOR may have seemed cruel to some, but it did seem to help her move through it. I also had wondered if that whole car thing was even going to be about the mess inside, so I was somewhat amused that they spent all that time polishing up the appearance when the thing wouldn't start anyway.

Wow..now it makes sense why Lou kept saying "he was clean now". I thought it was a pretty strange statement at the time. When did they mention about the a/c etc.??
