I know I have learned to let a lot of it go but I still go a ways to go. I read a book called The Surrendered Wife and it was all about controlling wives and how much we can change our husbands just by learning to be respectful and a huge part of showing respect is by letting go of our desire to control them. I was a mothering, smothering, nagging pain in the butt! I'm trying really hard to let it go but I am finding it really hard, especially when I only see him a couple of times a week. But I guess a couple of times a week is a good amount compared to some.
