Rob #8 - Never Losin' Sight

[SDFoundGirl]

Oh Rob, that sucks! BUT...I think this is an opportunity. You wrote:

My answer is: I AM planning to change careers, but being the analytical type I am, I'm working on figuring out what I want to do instead.

In her mind, that's just me being stagnant and not strong enough to pull the trigger. She's not entirely wrong - it IS scary - but she's also not entirely right. I will get there, in my own way and my own time.

Okay. This is what I see...I see Rob's plans all in his head while Rob's W makes assumptions...because she knows old Rob...and because New Rob isn't communicating with his W.

Honestly, I wish you two were in MC. It's hard enough with the help of a therapist, let alone going it alone. H and I have been in MC for almost a year, and we're STILL working on making sure we communicate with each other. When we do, we've got the skills to do it well...it's just the doing it that's kind of slow.

Don't know how your W would react to a request...but it might be worth a shot. She's telling you how she feels...that's good at least.

Take care of yourself the best way you know how: PMA, GAL, etc. And ask yourself, what's still missing?
