I'm learning that failure of compassion is the primary cause of anger, resentment, contempt, disgust, and abuse in relationships. I'm learning that compassion is the most important emotion for forging intimate relationships.
good, keep learning and doing the introspection and work on yourself - that's what this is all about. you can handle it cheers
ps stop counting days - doesn't matter in the long run.
I have learned a lot so far, and I'll continue to do so. I feel so bad for not having known this stuff in the past though! We could have avoided so much fighting, anger, resentment, pain, etc. Our kids would be so much better off, and we would be so much better off!
I'm only counting the days because right now they are steps, even though they might be baby steps, and it's something that I haven't been too good at so far. It makes me feel like I'm at least doing something that I should be doing, instead of doing something that I shouldn't be doing!
p.s. I know where you're coming from though.
