My story, my progress, my hope

[Tinman]

Interesting couple of days. I feel like i have had my eyes opened to a lot of my issues. Yes i have listened to my W explain some of these things but i dont think i ever really understood. Well i have gone through my share of aelf help books and besides DB and DR there have been other helpful ones but i have been reading one the last few days that has rocked my perception of myself. No more mister nice guy, has opened my eyes to see how i have been doing things in order to gain approval, doing for W in hope of having it returned and how i tend to try and control and manipulte situations, and putting others needs ahead of mine hoping mine will be met in exchange.

With that said i feel like i better understand my W concerns and hesitations with our M (outside of dealing with my crazy x). I feel like i can truly go forward and focus on my needs and not have to rely on my W to be the center of my joy.

Ok so W text this aftermoon and asked me if we could get go out tonight:-)

So pretty good couple of days for me. Moving on to a better place for myself.
