I agree with you Jack about the OM's wife. Too much involvement with her and you start to get into these triangular relationships...worlds collide. Messy.

Honestly, I don't read that many self-help books. I'm just a voracious reader of everything...from Dave Barry to Hunter S. Thompson and everything in between. I was cruising on one of the other boards and several guys mentioned how they really enjoyed Deida's book, so I thought I'd pick it up.

I'm also off the bandwagon of reading self help books. Read them all, and I mean ALL eight years ago. This time, not so much.

I'm doing, and living, and being.

And while I will always accept my part in this; I'm not really the problem this time.

Ahhh wait Drew....didn't you say you did get complacent in your marriage?

Or am I mistaken?

See that is MY biggest fear. Sliding back into comfortable old habits of not striving in my marriage again, the status quo and taking and being taken for granted.

Thanks for your advice, I too think that talking with om's wife is not a good situation to be in.

I need to distance myself from that whole sitaution. I am not sure why she called either, but I was very careful about what I said, but I won't get drawn into that situation anymore..

Fyre..

PS. I am on a roll at work anyhow and don't need the frustration, dirty medical call on monday, and huge structure fire last night, some peace and tranquility sounds darn good right now.

Yes, Jack, you busted me. I did say that. And I did. That's why I accept my role in this. I guess I mean that I made 98% of the effort to get back together last night. And I did slide back in complacency a little bit. But not all the way back. So I can't fix it this time.

Given a third chance? I'll watch the complacency thing.

You have a good memory. Or a great search function!!

Jack,

We're human. We can only do better from this point forward.

Fyre,

Good call I think on the OM wife calls. Nothing good there, even though it seems tempting.

So...

It's friday...


I remember weekends those first few months being absolute hell.

What's your plan? What do you have going on? What's going to keep you occupied with something good?


Blessings,

Bill
