I usually asked her if she wanted to try something I had already done, and mixed something that I know she loves doing in with it.



Really ?

Read the above in bold and tell me how that makes you feel...

Is that the way it always was ?

That you were so interesting that women should bow to you and what you are involved in ?

I'm not buying that, sorry...

You stated in other threads that you were OCD, and you were working on that...

How ?


I know you feel like I am beating you up here , and I know you probably cringe when you see my name pop up on your thread.

I can tell you this...

The things that people get defensive and argumentative about....those are the things that need to be looked at.

Those things not only send up a Red Flag with other posters, but they send up a Red Flag within yourself. Hence the defensiveness.


I also don't think that this is even about you getting out and achieving goals anymore.

This is about how you dealing with OCD/controlling behaviors.


So answer me this...

How are you working to change those patterns ?
