Interesting that you mention the finances and such. My wife paid all the bills (except for a few that I paid out of a business account the last 3 years or so); she made almost all the appointments; she ran the house; she worked full time; she took care of S4 (see where I'm going with this?) I let her do all those things so i wouldn't have to! She is VERY good at them, and VERY organized, so she could do it. Shoot, I'd have her make my phone calls to people because she is so good on the phone (that's where she doesn most of her job - phone and computer).
However, none of that mattered. What mattered was I didn't listen to her. I didn't notice the things she needed. I didn't get her hints. I didn't respond to her emotions properly (I hid my own instead of sharing). Etc, etc, etc.
Anyway, I'm fully aware of my short-comings from the past. I'd like a chance to show her the future won't be the same, but she's not interested. It is really too bad, because I KNOW we could make this really great - not just good, but GREAT!
We can talk ourselves into defeat or we can talk ourselves into victory - we are creatures of our thinking.
