Yes, OW's a real self-absorbed, self-righteous uh..."character" who is called LOTS of things by the female faculty at the university - but "competent scientist" isn't among them, LOL!
I have a feeling once this all comes to a head -- and it will, the momentum is building -- and she winds up on the outside looking in with no mentor or smart boyfriend to push her along, she's gonna crash and burn. Nothing like starting your career as a pariah!
I had another session with Larry today and he had me write down 10 movie-like scenes from our courtship and marriage that made me fall in love with WH. It was a FASCINATING walk down memory lane --
-From our first date when he stood behind me and put his hands over mine to show me the correct way to hold a putt putt golf putter (and I nearly fainted from the hot guy steam factor!)
-To the day he greeted me at the airport with a pair of diamond earrings after I'd been away 4 days at a conference and he said it felt like a year
-To our wedding night when we did a junk food run and he told everyone at the Taco Bell we'd just been married and they applauded
...it reminded me of the great guy I fell in love with and married and am fighting to get back. It was also an eye-opener of how complacent we'd become, because the last great scene I could remember was from 1998. :-(
I only had the 1 session with the db coach, which was good, but I was looking for something a bit more aggressive and have found it with Larry - 2x a week vs once every two weeks. His home study course if very thorough, and if I sound more confident now as opposed to earlier posts, it's because of what I've learned from him: to think and act strategically instead of emotionally.
It's made a world of difference to my mindset and attitude, and WH has DEFINITELY noticed. After all the junk we've been through, it's time to bring on the good stuff!!!
