untethering

[aeolianchaos]

Just to be clear, 25: I don't take offense at what you've posted and I think that there is some merit to your perspective.

I also know after reading many (thousands?) of your posts that you are quite sincere in your intentions and that you wish for people to do better in their lives. I am appreciative of that and find those qualities admirable.

I feel like my response to you may have been perceived as strongly worded and I want to make sure you know that it strikes a nerve that has nothing to do with you. While I don't feel that I am being blindly defensive or dismissing the notion of my failings or problems, I am committed to also seeing what I did that was positive and contributed to the parts of the marriage that were going right (I believe this is a part of SFBT - identify what is going right).

I have plenty of work to do..and I don't want to dismiss that or suggest that I am done with my work.
