SS, it sounds like our H's are of similar mindsets.
Subguy, the things you want to change? I would like to change the same in myself! I've always said that a lot of us LBS's share similar traits.
We all miss the R thing. Having someone to share one's life with is essential and this is why I intend to find new love in my life sooner rather than later. But it's true we shouldn't rush it.
Subguy, now that you know what you want to change, ask yourself how you'll put this into practice and how you'll measure your progress.
