Sarah, Thank you. You are right of course. I have been very needy over the course of my relationship and while it was not I that have chosen to end it, this most likely was a deciding factor for my wife with regard to our marriage. I will certainly not discard any advice or encouragement that I recieve on this forum. I like that. Act like a friend, a very in control confident friend. I was actually assertive with my wife about something yesterday when she made a suggestion to me that I would take care of it. She said, if you are trying to be assertive with me, it's too late. I just smiled.
