Thanks for today's discussion. It did help me some directions and attitudes to change so I thank you all.
Aside from myself, this is going to refer to my W so bear with me. It was interesting to get a female perspective on what my W is doing and how she is acting mainly because it allows me to listen to her in the times that we do talk. And I mean really listen and how when she says something, she's meaning something else. This does allow me to talk to her compassionately and see what her unmet needs may be. I just file those things away in my head for when I need to bring them up.
This is more of a communications tool for me which I have found useful and from the help of many of the posters here, I have learned how to really listen to what she's trying to say. It's like a universal translator. I don't think I would have been able to truly understand what she was saying with just my MALE ears.
So, aside from that it is going to continue to be all about me where I live the best life that I (bold) want.
