Along with patience with our wives, we need to have patience with ourselves. Our changes won't become permanent overnight. I think the first step is to get in a mindset to permanently strive for change.
I do see that I have a lot more patients with others than I do with myself. I guess it's because I know myself and I know what I want (and need) to do so I'm hard on myself when I slip up.

I'm glad too, the questions he posed in last post have really been on my mind. I'm surprised at how many of my thoughts revolve(d) around not letting my marriage fail rather than just enjoying it. It's something I'm really going to work on in life, not just M. Our upcoming family cruise + the D process (next court date set for 3/12) have been weighing me down because I was feeling like I was running out of time. My thoughts revolved around what I could do before 3/12 to make a change but I know that thinking won't work because it just adds more pressure. Now I'm really trying to just enjoy the kids, GAL, work on me, and enjoy the time I spend with W.
