Don't you think it remains to be seen if there could be a NEW relationship built upon some sort of mutual respect? I mean, have you ever consistently learned about setting -- and enforcing -- boundaries, and sticking up for your own needs?


I'll agree that it remains to be seen if a new relationship could built. As far as the boundaries, I haven't really set any. I could start with telling her to stop with the phone calls in the morning. I think I did well with the standing up to her regarding my daughter not going to daycare this week. I'll have to look at the section in Hold On to You N.U.T.S. again that covers this.

Remember: women tie their feelings of "love" VERY closely with their feelings of "respect." She has helped create a husband who "agrees to everything she wants," but now she realizes that she's really not attracted to that. And you, you've allowed it.

You are correct here as well. \:\( I just hope that it's not too late. If it is, then I will be sure not to repeat in my next relationship.

Good homework assignment, thanks!
