On another note: The SSM book that I asked wife to read, only to sit and collect dust for the past few months, is gone. I'm certain that she took it with her to her mom's. Not a major breakthrough, but maybe a small step yes?
Or....she got tired of seeing it there as a daily reminder of her "shortcomings" so she got rid of it or put it away somewhere out of sight. Not to burst your balloon or anything, but that's precisely what happened when I asked MrsGGB to read it a couple years ago. I now know that I shouldn't give her R books to read, as it just makes her feel that much more pressured and that much more inadequate. Currently, I'm jsut working on myself and hoping that there is still an R to work on when she decides to pitch in.
Maybe. She did call me a little bit ago and I sensed a much different tone from her. She just seem much more sincere and interested in what I was going to be doing with my day. In our case, it's not a matter of trust, so I know she was not calling to check up on me. I told her what all I had planned and she almost seemed relieved and genuine in saying "good, you needed some good quality time to yourself."
Not much, just a nice, pleasant and refreshing conversation
