Eric, the timeline is a function of reality. Not set by me.
Sorry MLC I disagree....the timeline is SET by YOU and ONLY YOU.
I do agree with.....

I will play my cards as I see fit during this whole process. I can only control my own actions, so I see my efforts as definitely proactive. However, I must prepare to be adult enough to accept possible future circumstances. As it has been said, all our sitch's have different flavors. I will choose to look at things positively either way things work out.
So what does standing mean to YOU?

These techniques are all manipulative behaviuors designed to extract a changed / positive response in the other person.
Initally they usually are. That is...until you really start to live YOUR life for YOU. It has been my experience that at that point, you really no longer need to communicate any changes...cause they truly are for YOU.

It is because we care for the other person and seek to change our circumstances through our actions.
Once again,initally I would agree...changes are made to seek a change in the other person or in our circumstance. That said, when one realized the mistakes they made albeit it to a spouse or in the manner in which they live thier lives AND decide that this is the person THEY want to be...well then the changes are made NOT with an EXPECTATION of the spouse returning but becuase the person wants to change for themselves.
God Bless, Eric
