Tad, you arent really doing something different.

You are still getting pulled in.
You are still hanging on every word.
You are still apologizing to her.
You are still telling her you want to talk, work it out, delay it.
You are still letting her craziness get to you.
You are still not detached.
You are still not moving forward.
You are still stuck.
You are still trying to figure her out.

You are still......

Get what I mean?

She is in crisis right now. Nothing you can do to talk her out of it, Nothing you can do to change her mind right now. Nothing you can do to reason her out of it. But you can slow it down by continuing to get in the way.

So, accept that she is crazy right now. Enjoy your sons, be with friends, do something you always wanted to do, go somewhere you always wanted to go, take a college course.

Get out of her way. Let her walk this journey and you walk yours. Move forward.

Get off the freakin merry go round and live your life before it lives you.

Get to gettin.
