H was home from golf last night at 9:30. He was very friendly and upbeat and full of excitement for our coming golf weekend together.
He mentioned that he had felt jammed at lunch, and had to keep working since he had to leave the job early. I'm so glad that I whined to you all and didn't share my hurt feelings with him.
I believe that the detachment and acting as if are two of the most powerful tools you can have to work with. I know that if I had kept crying, whining, threatening and trying to logic him back into our M he would probably be gone by now.
The self power that you begin to feel when you stop that self destructive behavior only gets better with practice.
Most of us are about as happy as we make up our minds to be.
