Thanks for the comment. I'm real excited about my promotion, but at the same time a little stress about managing my work/personal life - but that is a challenge that I know I must meet. When I was married, my wife would sometimes get the impression that work/education was most important to me - so I know that I must really prove to her that family is what's important. And I must say, this sure isn't easy. My work sometimes can be demanding, and while I do enjoy it - I would rather be at home playing with my daughter than crunching data at night.
I like how you said she is suggesting whether I'm planning for the family rather than just getting back with her. I really haven't thought about it in those terms, but you are exactly right. At moment, I am staying at some apartment by myself and one of my goals is to try to eliminate as much debt as I can so that is not a burden to the family. I know that my wife also has some debt too and today we were talking about it and how we can try to eliminate some of it. I like it how she will call me about and just start talking about her personal finances like it was just any other topic - very relax and comfortable.
Yep, this really is both a learning and growing process. I know that I have so much more development to undergo and this really does bring me back to days when I was first dating. All the little things, like how to be attractive, confident and flirtatious, definitely something that I am working to improve.
Has some really good tips and advice on dating. Do you recommend any good books on how to flirt/date? I'm finding that getting to reconciliation is so much like trying to build attraction with someone you really like and started dating with. It amazes me how when people are first dating how there is some much passion and energy - and then overtime that somehow dies with a lot of people. I really do want to learn the skills to not only get back with my family, but to also be a better person to be with. Yeah, it's hard to regain that playfulness at times, but I think I am getting better at it - still lots to learn though.
