Standing up to the punches

[Redo]

2Step, yup, you are absolutely right about living for myself.

For 11 years almost all my decisions have always been based on the fear that if i dont capitulate, that my wife might leave me. I think that kind of behavior is hard to break.

For a long time i actually manned up and told my wife that i'd fight her in court if she kept up some of her expectations on one particular issue in the decree. She calls me yesterday and told me that she's backing those out. lil victory i guess.

But as i said, most of decisions i made were made with fear or guilt. It is gonna take me a while to make decisions without these 2 attributes.
