Your advice comes at the best time! I really appreciate the view from a male perspective...the way you men think is so foreign to me I mean that in a good way...of course!
I think you are so right...the proof is in the pudding as they say and all my pleadings and talk of change fell on deaf ears. He is waiting to see the results of all my talk.
It's so funny...I really don't think he expected me to really go on this camping trip. He let me borrow all his stuff and when he was explaining to me what I had to do to put up the tent etc, he had this glib grin on his face...like "there 'aint no way this chick is gonna actually go camping". The other funny part is that every time I told one of my co-workers I was taking my D camping they all started laughing like I was crazy. One person actually said...OMG I would love to see that. I obviously put off a certain vibe that would lead people to believe I couldn't make it in the wilderness. WELL I DID and I had a blast!
I think doing the 180's is the right way for me to proceed. I'm looking at things from his point of view rather than my own...I've been very selfish in our relationship and I can't change it...can only be giving in the future.
