Looking for help with WAW

[mza8]

Glimmerman,

I appreciate your advice. You are helping me see some things that I still need to improve on. My W had mentioned that there were other issues for her in addition to my lack of job. She hasn't felt comfortable enough yet to open up to me about what those things might be. Taking a hard look at myself I think I have seen some things on my own that I could have done better.

Looking back I can see that I did view things that were insignificant for me and were probably significant for her. I was kind of a "wanting everything my way" person. This is something I need to continue to work on. I know that at times my W doesn't think I listen. When my W and I do talk lately I still catch myself not listening to her and wanting my way. At least now I am catching myself when I do this and then remind myself to listen to her. I have been trying to see things through her eyes lately. I try to do this whenever I make a decision about something or when interacting with her.

Sometimes when things get emotional or argumentative, I find myself getting caught up in it. Not all of the time, but once in a while. Getting better but still room for improvement.
