Thank you AnotherStander - I needed that. Will go back and reread the book.
Question for you - in an earlier post you mentioned the 5 Languages of Love. I actually already had the book (probably should have read it after we got married, wonder why someone gave us the book as a gift lol). So my husband needs Words of Affirmation, this is his language. It's awful hard to praise someone when right now all they are doing is messing up your world, know what I mean? He's not around for me to praise him for helpful things. Mostly he wants praise for all of his music ventures - well, sorry, I'm not going to get all crazy telling you how great your music is and happy that practice went well etc when music is STILL more important than our family.
You are completely right about relationships with the opposite sex. I dn't feel like I had intentions - but then again, these relationships are part of what got H and I to where we are, I wasn't happy about who he was talking with. In hind sight, I was probably just trying to retaliate against him. But at any rate, I knew I shouldn't have been talking with the guy and it's over now.
Dr. Phil would have a hey day with all of this....
Thanks for the support, I need to come back here more often and get myself on the right track.
