From the beginning...

[movingon-1968]

Things I've gotten pretty good at:

• Listening without offering commentary
• Being in a good mood regardless of the situation
• Offering words of encouragement when she's feeling down
• Giving acts of service (thank you 5LL)
• Walking away from argument bait
• Not bringing up discussions of M or R
• Detachment -

Things I need to improve on:

• Validation - I still let myself get pulled into defensive mode when I shouldn't
• Stop keeping score
  
  
  There have been times recently where I've wondered if all of this was really worth it. If for no other reason than making myself a better person; the answer is yes...
