I've been trying to concentrate on enjoying my time with family . . .
Sorry everyone but I'm running out of gas. I think I need to focus more on "No More Mr Nice Guy" and deal with MY issues more than trying to understand her. . . .
Anyone got some 4x4's or something to shake me out of this?
Why would I have 4x4's, that you've shifted the focus now to you and your daughter? I believe I RECOMMENDED that you do that after you confronted her, no??
If you're saying you don't have the stomach for exposure anymore, I do think that would be a mistake ("a", I think exposure works, and "b", your wife is the type [overly concerned with image] that would seem to be succeptible to its effects), but this evolution is both natural and NECESSARY, CD.
It simply wouldn't be emotionally or even physically healthy for you to stay amped up in "game mode" day after day, to the same level that you were the last two weeks. You're going to have individual moments, or days, when you'll have to get yourself back into that, in order to accomplish something tactically, but that's it.
Think Lawrence "L.T." Taylor at the end of his career. He couldn't dial it up on every given play anymore, but he damned sure could turn it on when he had to.
