Thank you for the feedback. I have been consistently talking much more softly to my W (and kids too) since the beginning of April and have definitely noticed a positive difference in our interactions (this is mostly true with the kids; I can't seem to do much right in my W's eyes no matter what I do.)
Regarding coming across as being judgmental in my posts- you are right and I need to drop being judgmental altogether. I know that it is yet another thing holding me back in being a better man and having a better R with my W... as well as being able to detach.
BTW, I like and agree with your tag line re: passion. I am a very passionate person by nature myself- I presume you are too. Do you find that to be a significant obstacle for you in your efforts to detach?
