sometimes I beat myself for what I do post



Hey, that's why we are here for you. If we didn't care, we wouldn't read your posts! You are not a bad example... you are in a difficult situation. You HAVE been doing ALL the work... heck, if it was up to him, the two of you wouldn't even be the two of you. Pretend he's a fish... you'd have to do all that work, too. So, you've got him hooked, you have to reel him in SLOWLY... you can't be jerking him in the boat. You had to be incredibly PATIENT to even get him to take the hook... and you are still, what, 13 days from the goal YOU set YOURSELF... in my opinion you are WAY ahead of the game. Take it easy. Make YOURSELF happy right now... don't make him have to do it. Show him how you want to be treated. But right now, be willing to help him carry his burden, not beat him over the head with it.


Relax. Appreciate. Be calm. Laugh. Enjoy. Be secure. Be loving. Be loved. Don't personalize. Don't ASSume. Accept. Be grateful.
