Rob #8 - Never Losin' Sight

[Rob1231]

Thank you again, friends. I'm swinging back and forth between two states of mind.

First, the positive. I do acknowledge some of the points that W has made. I can see places that I have backslid into old behaviors, and places that she has as well. So, I'm leaping back into my GAL-ing and PMA boosting stuff with both feet. Having been here before, I'm finding it a lot easier to do it all again, with gusto. (Examples: bike riding last night, taking my daughter to my yoga class tonight, playing poker with friends tomorrow night.)

Second, the negative. While it's true that we've both backslid, it really pisses me off that W did several things.
(a) Let it build up to "bomb" levels of unhappiness before bringing it up. (As I said, I thought her gradual withdrawal was largely about frustration with problems at work.)
(b) Returned to the d@mned MLC mentality of "it's all your problem and it's all yours to solve."
(c) Slipped back into the comfortable mindset of being blind to everything I've done, am continuing to do, and am planning.

So, my choice is which mindset I'm going to let myself be ruled by. Well, that's an easy one.

Hanging in there and back on the horse...
