The joy of detachment.... you start to get to a point where you don't worry so much about what they are thinking, and you really just worry about what you are thinking and how to get what you need out of the situation.
I don't really feel like I'm walking on eggshells anymore and I didn't wonder why he asked when he asked ... honestly... I am just trying to worry about me at this time because that's all I have control over and when I do see him and talk to him, I try my best to remind myself to treat him with kindness because that is the person I want to be and to speak with truth (what I mean by that is sometimes it is easy to get caught up in their game and I have to remind myself to be true in all my responses rather than trying to hurt him if he hurts me, etc.)
Just wanted to say... it does get easier. You are on the way there.
Very little is needed to make a happy life; it is all within yourself, in your way of thinking. -Marcus Aurelius
