- When you no longer obsess (nor particularly even care) about what HER reaction to YOUR thoughts/actions are;

- When you no longer obsess (nor particularly even care) about what she is doing/thinking;

- When you are able to begin to operate from a framework, not of "How will she react to this? Will she be angry? How will her reaction make ME feel?", and instead begin to operate from one of "What is 'The Right Thing to Do' in this situation? What is the thing that God Himself would have me do, if He were standing right in front of me?";

- When you largely stop asking "WHY?" in association with everything she does, or doesn't do.

- When the majority of your daily thoughts become more centered around YOUR daily goals, interests, and concerns, and not around HERS.
