When I read this page I found myself going through the history of my life and pinpointing different moments when my "fixer" attitude ended costing me a friend or a part of myself...very revealing stuff to read - and, my goodness, if it doesn't highlight some of the ways in which I matched the needs of my wife when we first met...as the fixer it was all too easy for her to come to depend on me too much...and somehow, over the last couple years, her excessive dependence on me was something I had come to resent...even though I had contributed to it so very much (and didn't even know it).



Ooh Ooh...I wonder if this dynamic matches my relationship with h. I love that website.....I look at it everynow and then and go "yeah!"
