Time for the Loop the Loop on this rollercoaster!

"I feel she changed,me in to someone who settles for less in life by constantly saying I put too much into work. I am only young for gods sake! I need to build something that I can enjoy later right?"

Wrong. You don't need to be rich to be successful. You don't need to be rich to be happy. Look how many people are rich and are on their 3rd, 4th, 5th marriages. If you constantly look for external and material goods to make you happy, you will never be happy.

"I think her negativity over the years convince me that I wasnt capable."

Now you're changing your marital history. She just wanted to provide you with some input but you ignored it thinking that you know better than her.

"That is alpha make, and that is how I was."

Yes and even when you were sinking you still kept telling yourself you knew best. An alpha male knows how to listen and interpret ALL information that is given to them (even if they don't agree with it) and choose the one that will yield the best outcome.

"And I can do this! I can achieve anything I set my mind to. Is that arrogant?"

Of course not. But what is arrogant is that you're missing the point of what people have been trying to tell you.

"I think the line between high self esteem, high self worth, and arrogance is very fine."

No it's not. Having high self-esteem means to be comfortable in your own skin and being cool about it. Arrogance is saying my skin is better than yours and I don't care what you say.

"I may talk arrogant but its onl bevause I believe in myself and my capabilities."

You keep forgetting that this is what got you into trouble in the first place. You didn't listen to your W and just made her contribution/suggestions seem insignificant. That's why she went after a guy who actually listens to her.

AGAIN! It's why people have stopped posting to you. Because you talk like a know it all. You keep saying that you're not and that you're not acting like one, etc. But look how many people have left and ALL for the same reason. Are you saying that they are ALL wrong and you're still right?
