Hey Bug, I think we've talked about this before. Being a recovering "nice guy" myself...

With my W, she always had such strong opinions of how things should be, and I respected her knowledge, it was easy for me to let her have her way. In some sense I thought I was doing things to make life better or happier for her. This also caused the gradual corrosion of communication and my own self-identity.

So looking at the list above I'd add way up top something about communication and the ability to recognize bad patterns of past relationships and how that's been changed for that person.

Hope you have a good weekend. I'm leaving on a jet-plane again this evening.
