W still angry with me, but the intensity lessens

[Lanzo]

Hi GFI

You've got me looking deeper now (this is what I wanted).

Since putting the DB techniques into practice I've sat down and recalled some of the issues W had with me, which in my eyes were little niggles, guy things, but to her they were major issues. I've started to address some of these and I am feeling the positive benefits as I am getting comments from other people, male and female about how well I look. W puts great stock in my personal appearance and status and said that from a long time ago that I had let myself go and stopped taking care of myself.

So here goes.

I've have fully embraced DB, so interms of the bigger picture I knew I had to change.
I now see my faults as faults and not just guy things.
I listen to W when she talks, I do not force my opinion back onto her.
I understand good communication is key for any future we may have.
I have thrown out old cloths which I've held on to and have updated my wardrobe. (W used to comment on this).
I dress smart at all times, even my scruffs are decent scruffs.
Oral Hygiene is of a good standard (W used to comment on this)
Personal Hygiene is of a good standard (W used to comment on this).
I'm a modern man now, I use facial scrubs, shaving balm, cologne. Etc. it's not for show it's what I do now.
My alcohol intake is reduced.
I work out at the gym, lost 30lbs and look good, not quite got the 6 pack she wants but watch out this year.
I have made a new circle of friends go out more often.
My self confidence is back, I like what I see in the mirror.(so do the Laydeezze )
I have addressed some of my financial issue which were getting me down and this has made a lot more things possible.
I do my fair share of the house work, (sometimes too much) at first W resisted this cos she thought it was short term now she ok with it.
It goes without saying I take care of D6, but I have added a little discipline. (W said I spoilt her and no one else can control her).

These are some things I struggle with but am aware of their impact:-

I always leave cupboards doors open, don't know why, I just can't help it. It drives W mad.
I leave the key in the kitchen door when I lock it, W complains about security.
W wants me to drive a big BMW, it was my ambition but I can't afford it.
W get annoyed cos I make big plans and never follow through (see above point).

I guess W was right to think that I had become a bit of a slob, but she seemed to be the only person telling me. How can one person be right and everyone wrong (oh the irony).
