Doc, Naej, Matilda, Jak, and DB Friends, My W sent me a long email reply today. In it she shared her concerns and complaints. She said that we have the potential for a good life together. She wants a companion and partner who is present and affectionate. Other things on the list included helping out with chores, taking more intitiative in planning our outings together, having a positive attitude, taking responsibility in finding the dog a sitter, since I don't want her dance partner to do it (I told you she listens to me), take swimming lessons, and other points I will have to review the email for. She also said we have to reduce negativity.
In today's paper in a political column, the writer Leonard Pitts is talking about change at a society level and Civil Rights Activist Dorothy Height who died recently. He writes that "when people would tell her the time was not ripe for a given thing, she would challenge them to "ripen the time."
In another political column by David Broder he speaks on the topic of patience, in reference to the president. He writes that "patience is not sufficient in itself to solve problems. It can only contribute to making policy a success by fitting it to the right timing." This applies to marital problems too.
I think I have a new thread title. I'm trying on different titles until I find the right fit.
