I finished reading DR and DB and I am hoping some of you out on the board can help me determine if what I am defining is in line with what I should be doing.
Immediate goals -I want him to acknowledge our anniversary and make a pleasant family evening as well as the next morning of Easter (since he asked to be over and spend the nite sleeping downstairs but I know with his flirting/requests lately he will want to come upstairs for a bit for physical "contact time") -I want him to have daily communication with me with no negative comments and continue to improve family time
Intermediate Goals -I want him to start MC and own some blame -I want him to start to spend one on one time with me and have fun… rekindling
Long Term -I want him to move back home and consider us married again -I want us to spend one nite a week for ˝ hour discussing anything that may be bothering each other -I want us to spend at least 3 nites of quality time together-at least 10 minutes of one on one daily talk and preferably at least two date nites a month
Two things we need to build: Trust and Empathy A) To trust in the relationship and each other b) Understand how each other feels-be in their shoes
Goal dealbreakers: 1) Me starting another relationship and no longer wanting to be married (not looking for that anytime soon)
I need to start thinking like him, not how I would think he thinks...HARD TO DO!!! -------------------- H:41 W:44 D1:18 D2:16 S:12 D3:7 T:20 M:18..soon Bomb:1/5/11 Sep:2/18/11 No D filed yet; just threats
