One last thing - Praying LOADS and LOADS!

In addition, I visualized my heart feeling happy and agreeing with myself to accept that no matter how it may happen, I will feel content and secure - I just have to trust myself and God (the universe, the Light etc).

other 180's in connection with control:

- never ask where he is, what he is doing
- don't offer him more information than he needs about me
- do not tell him what to do or how to do it (unless he asks)
- listen to what he says and feedback to him directly (proper listening skills)
- be honest about where I stand (assertive) AND DO NOT shove it down his throat, become defensive, persuasive or argumentative
-if he got defensive, I questioned how I was delivering my message and tried in a different way and apologized for my delivery.
- I stopped complimenting him (could be interpreted as a pursuing behavior). A coincidence maybe but I noticed he started to state things he noticed changed about me (haircut, new eyeshadow, little things).

Ok - If I think of any others, I'll let y'all know.
