It's funny because some times I can feel a backslide into my old self - selfish, uncaring of others' needs. I have to really take some inventory and find out why. That usually helps things.
I'm struggling with the fact that W is a very independent woman. She needs to do her own thing every once and a while and I'm learning hard to let her.
An example is her Iphone that is attached to her fingers. FB and texting are her main means of communication. The selfish part of me wants to know why she is doing it all the time but the new part of me simply understands that it's something she enjoys. She doesn't hide it from me because it is innocent and fun for her. I don't worry about it being another man because I do trust her.
I guess it's that "controlling" part of me that doesn't want to go away without a fight
Jack-thanks for the encouragement. I don't want to head down either side of the slope but instead keep foraging forward.
Sandi2- thanks for the kind words. I will do my best!
