Sage,

We all seem to be continuous self improvement projects and from all you read and do, I would take you as a goal oriented person. Do you have goals right now for your part in your relationship? Back to the very basics of all this. Something you can run through the filter and before you act or react, ask yourself that old standby, will it get me closer to my goal? Something to focus on and possibly set the tone for what you do and how you behave.

And I agree with the guru status!
