Here are some goals I had come up with a little over a week ago. These are things that I thought "When my W starts coming around what would she say or do." These might not be attainable goals or realistic or even goals at all but that is why I am posting them, to get feedback and make them more realistic so I can validate and monitor what works and does not and keep my sanity.
===========[GOALS]============ My W would/will: - wear her wedding ring, at least wear it more often if not all the time - communicate with me more freely and often - take interest in seeing a Therapist and get help - be open to some form of marital counseling - include me or at least consider me in when making plans to do something or go somewhere - say "Hi" and "Bye" when coming/going to work or other places. - call me on the phone (no matter where or when) to talk, just because. - start sleeping in same bed as I. - overcome her "shyness" around me - ask how I feel or "how was work?" - start to show more interest in the upkeep of our home - initiate positive relationship talk - would decide to stay and give US another chance - initiate a hug as she use to when this sitch first started - make us dinner/lunch/breakfast or something that would suggest courtesy/thoughtfulness - FIL would be more supportive of our marriage - stop pursuing OM - stop exposing our personal life/problems to co-workers - have a more positive outlook on marriage - join me at church - say more kind, encouraging things toward me, about me. - speak more lovingly as she did when the sitch first began (for example: referring to me as "hun" or "babe" which are words that meant so much to her before our sitch) =====================
I do have self improving goals and the list is much shorter and I have already initiated most on my list.
If you been following my sitch or have a similar sitch and st similar goals please share what did/did not work.
