Quote: Oh my gosh she is soo much like me, if my friends would read this they would assume you were talking about me!! I know this doesn't help, but just wanted you to know that there are other people out there who can't follow through on thier commitments.
Cathy, thanks for dropping by and lettin me know that CAW is not the only with this trait. I will try to keep that in mind in hopes to be more understanding. However, you didn't make any mention as to why you think you have so much trouble keeping commitments. I would like to hear your insights on such.

Quote: ask your W if sometimes when she makes plans, it's more thinking out loud than something she's going to make happen?
Even a slight change in phrasing would take the edge off...Like "I might feel up to making stew tonight, how does that sound?"...then the expectation isn't so high.
OK, I didn't catch on here right away ... interesting insight Shiny! Another words, this is all based on a communication gap? What she says is not to set up certain expectations, but merely wishful thinking on her part expressed out loud ... hmmmm ... you might be onto something ... worth exploring
