Hey Doc. Good job on the move back into the MB! I made that move about three weeks ago and it really helped me see things for what they were. I was able to recognize the huge gap between the reasonableness of my actions and the intense anger and hostility generated by my W. It helped me detachand it rebuilds self esteem. It is also tremendously disruptive of thier world view. I think a general rule of thumb is that anything that confuses them and builds your confidence is a good change.
I noticed the morning after you got a "grunt" in response to "Good Morning". Wow! That was better than I did!
I have also picked up The Art of Seduction. I have not spent any significant time with it due to the holiday. (I do not want my wife to see it.) I have a bit of trouble comprehending how it can be useful when our Ws are only interested in being pissed at us. But, like I said, I haven't spent much time with it yet.
Good work on staying calm in the face of the storm!
