You know what gets me about not backsliding from hard earn changes? Opening my big mouth! It's as if I just have to say what I'm feeling at the time--even knowing that I'm cutting my own throat where my H is concerned. I don't understand why I do that when I know that it is not going to earn me any Brownie points with him! Then after I say what I am busting to say, I am so mad at myself when I see the opposite results from what I was wanting.
It is not about what you feel should work in your M. It is about doing the work that gets the right results. Do what works!
