I think you will find that if you start thinking about what YOU want and what YOU need and stop communicating it to him then you will have peace in your life. Change what you can change and the rest will just fall into place.
Swimming also suggested I decide on a goal for myself - like a GAL goal - to give me something to focus on that's just for me. I thought this was just genius, and incredibly helpful. Now that I'm walking consistently and my shins are finally healing, I think my goal is to run (or run/walk if my shins still protest!) a half-marathon. There's a great one near here each fall. Can't do it for this year, but next year, running or walking, that's where I'll be. Thanks again to swimming, your support means a lot!
I cannot complain for not receiving from others, that which I've never asked them for.
