So i am reading along that Superior man book someone suggested i pick up. So now the problem I have identified is that my realtionship (family) was more important to me than my purpose in life???? Hmm guess I better start working on a purpose before I jump into another relationship or i will screw up again. All kidding aside, I am discovering that perhaps becasue I like to please people around me so much, my XW may have taken on more masculine roles and me more feminine ones....that may have contributed to our problems. Don't you love these self help books? Anyhow, I need to switch my mindset to the future when i read this stuff and not the past. Spent the day yesterday shopping with D8 and then took her to her friends BDay party at an indoor pool for a couple of hours. Speaking of D8, she is acting up a little and I lost my temper a couple of times and raised my voice. She is very fragile because both times her eyes filled up with tears. What it boils down to is she is developping a little lazy streek which I never noticed before and when i ask her to do something (which is very rare and nothing major), she whines and i need to repeat several times. We had a nice talk before putting her to bed to...I agreed to not raise my voice and she agreed to be a lttle more "responsive". Anyhow, better get off the computer ... I think D8 and i will go ice skating today...
