I have told her that happiness comes from within and external validation cannot create true happiness.
How great a difference is there between this true internal happiness and the faux externally validated happiness?
How does one achieve true happiness from within? and how does one maintain it? or validate that it is really coming from within and not from something a simple as a childrens smile?

But isnt it a hell of alot easier to run to another man to feel good about oneself? and quick too (with the praises, the compliments, the attention) with that comes happiness? no need to balance anything no need to try. How are YOU getting her to realize the good in herself and "balance" it with the bad?
Just Curious, because she hasnt given up the other man. you are ok with that?
