Michele once told me that even if the guy loves me, he isn't going to do a complete overhaul, that there are things that we can improve and do differently, but that he wasn't going to become a different person and I should really look at what I expect or want.
Now, my man actually DID quite a reversal (after a 4m breakup), but I did some changes myself.
I think we all have a dark side or selfish side to us that just takes us over sometimes.
I get the tired part.
Do you like yoga? That might fit with your gymnastics background. Got money for a spa day?
I love the math thing...I'm a chemist by training, and I'm taking company sponsored Six Sigma, so I'm learning stats. And I get to use Minitab. It's fun. I still have a ways to go. I love that you're teaching folks new ways to teach math--everyone has a different learning style, and I think most people can learn most things, if they use their own style to learn it.
Hang in there--life is good. Very good.
