I had a fairly good day today in terms of being able to "stand up to" my wife on certain issues where she was trying to take control of situations, utilizing the same patterns as in the past. The difference this time? I didn't allow it! I stood my ground, didn't get pushed around and more importantly, didn't cave in. I'll be darned if it didn't feel good, and guess what, I think I may have gotten not only some results, but maybe, just maybe a smidgen of respect from her. Dare to dream! I think she sees that I am going to stand my ground and will be firm, yet in as much of a non-confrontational way as possible.
Your input, along with some great advice I have received her, has made a big difference. I needed to grow a set, and I have. THANKS.
