Quoting Jamesjohn: Are you getting so wrapped-up in the big picture that you are overlooking some of the small stuff? That's me, I have to be constantly reminded that there has been baby steps because I'm looking to the finish line
Are you failing to recognize some of the small, "baby steps", that are happening? Yes, I try, but it takes someone else to keep pointing them out to me. I always want to be in a hurry.
When something "good" happens, do you often find yourself thinking, "Well, that was nice, but it's not enough, and I want more"? Yes, what is my problem? I should be happy with what I am getting. I'm having that problem right now, big time-HELP! I don't want to say or ask to much and scare H away!
What things happen that may seem insignificant to you at the time, but may actually be a sign that your partner is softening up to you? I realized yesterday that the last time he was over he offered to share a soda with me, In fact he insisted on it even when I said I didn't want anymore. So I gave in and did what he asked. Realized later that maybe he was trying to be intimate? Am I right. H comes and does some weed wacking, took D fishing once. Seems to want to receive hugs and a few kisses. I need help, is this enough are not? Is he ready to hear that I want to work on M?
Quoting Michele:What will be the very first sign that things are starting to move in the right direction?
What are your thoughts about small changes leading to other changes?
