Thank you all so much for the advice Pookie69 and ready2change. Am am morethan willing to make whatever changes and to improve myself in any way. I did compliment her when she does wear nice clothing that really makes her look good. When she goes to the skin tight tank tops made for high school girls I do not say anything bad but I also do not compliment.

I will definately check those two books out. I have done more reading in the last 9 months than I have done in my life. I wish I would have read them all a long time ago and helped myself. They all have helped in one way or another and all have been recommendations of this site. You guys out here have really helped me through some rough times. Seems like things are better, but like has been a recurring comment on here, I need to lead. I need to do that at work too. Just need to figure out how to do that better. the No More Mr. Nice Guy book has helped, but I need to go a little further.

I am not getting my hopes up, but things have been better at home. Lets see if I can learn to lead better and lead us back to happiness. I need to stop being afraid to make a mistake. that has been my #1 problem. I have learned that if I make a mistake, I need to learn from it and move on and be stronger becasue of it. I will check out these books and then I will check in perriodically to let you know how things are going.
