Hi Clayton and MsM Thanks for your advices and supports. It is nice to meet you all. I wish I meet you all under different circumstances instead. My wife's ice may be melting, but I am treating her as a friend. Like Clayton said, with respect, kindness and love is very important. If I treat her as my wife, I am afraid my fixing mood will kick in.....I am trying to stop be a fixer little by little. I keep telling myself. If she wants my opinion on things, she will ask. Otherwise, I just keep my mouth shut.
I did have a slip up several days ago on one of the e-mails. She made an angry comment on how I broke up her R with the OM. She also stated that I was the catalyst on broking up OM's family. Of course, instead of walking away, I fired back my reply to defend my position.......bad mistake. I should have took the high road and said nothing.
Through this, I learned ANGER is my enemy. Patient and calmness are my friends.
I've been reading the Divorce Remedy for a while now. It's funny I found myself keep reading specific section over and over to keep myself grounded. It is very helpful.
Now I am in (GAL) and last resort techniques. I am planning to do some 180.
I will keep you all posted.
