Sorry CB but I feel you're being unreasonably harsh here. I'm sorry you felt mentally abused and walked all over mate. There seems to be a lot of bitterness still left in you.
Right now, I feel I'm teaching my D8 about love and patience. We all reach our breaking point at our own pace. Sometimes it sounds like you would have me punish her for what she is doing in order to control her in doing what I want her to do. That sounds a lot like the man I used to be. The same man who got me in this mess in the first place.
I see baby steps her. I see a woman who wouldn't talk to me without spewing venom and who wanted little to do with me 2 months ago, initiating convos and meetings and telling me that she's enjoying her time with me.
Do what works.
DR page 130 - As long as your spouse seems to be somewhat interested rather than pulling away, it's okay for your marriage to be in a holding pattern.
DR page 135 - As long as you are seeing mild progress, you can assure yourself that your new strategy has some merit. Keep doing it.
"unconditional love is awesome!"
Cheers CB!
