Thanks for the well-wishes. I could definitely relate to that "nice guy" post, and that whole concept is something I'm doing a lot of self-evaluation about. I HAVE been "the nice guy," instead of the manly leader that I need to be. However, as you note, sometimes they SAY they want that, but then they do everything in their power to sabotage the very behavior from you that they claim to want.
I guess the key then is to push thru that, and do it anyway, and not be "looking behind her eyes" every step of the way to make sure we're doing things OK.
