The mindset you will be alright no matter what happens. That's why I started telling myself, "I can handle it."
Another view on detaching that helped me was to use the "fishbowl" analogy. View your sitch like you are a third party looking at your marriage from the outside looking in. The change of perspective helps.
I can see how the mindset that I'll be alright no matter what happens would be beneficial. I tap my fingers on my heart too and tell myself "I can handle it". The financial problems it's gonna cause me are gonna be huge, not to mention the emotional and mental costs.
I don't understand how the 'fishbowl' analogy helps...could you explain?
"Always go straight forward, and if you meet the devil, cut him in two and go between the pieces." - William Sturgis, clipper ship captain, 1830's.
