Yea before all this reaching out to Wife started, i wrote down my own list which sorta described me as a person. As to what i can live with, what if i give up will erase me as me.
In the past i always ended up second guessing myself. Either due to feedback from wife or without due to the learned behavior.
If if watching some hollywood movies, watching some good marriages that i know of and reading books, a man has got to stick to something he believes in and stand by it. Of course, as long as it is not a wrong thing. I always swayed my feelings and decisions based on my wife's emotional weather. One huge change i have noticed is that when i do stick to my decisions, I feel good, and i notice my wife changing too.
