Yes still doing a lot of work on myself, especially now that I am once again unemployed. Yes one of the challenges of working in high tech startups is opportunities may not always pan out as expected. My opportunity didn't and 4 weeks ago today I got laid off. I'm not really upset by it because once there and settled I really didn't believe in the business. They'll do fine but it just wasn't my cup of tea.
As for alpha male, working on that along with trying to be a lot more of a patient and understanding person and less of the "my way or the highway' attitude. I was never real bad at that but I can do a lot better. Also working on just letting go and letting her have her own life. Ultimately the fact that we didn't have our own lives was probably the biggest factor in her extreme unhappiness. Her seeing and feeling my support for her is helping her and I hope will help us as well. But I have to be very careful about it so I don't seem controlling or smothering. So a real balancing act to say the least.
If we really want to love, we must learn how to forgive. - Mother Theresa
