Wild Horses (couldn't drag me away)

Some of the changes they make in MLC are good, right? Being comfortable with one's self and being at peace is what one should have at the journey's end. I think it is brilliant she is sharing with you. This tells me she cares about what you think and what you think of her. Something my husband told me straight out one time, and he was very timid about doing so, was "you won't believe this, but your opinion is all I care about." It made him seem very vulnerable to reveal that.

That is so similar to how convos with my H will go. When I think we might be having a convo and I'd love for him to ask me how I feel about something, he doesn't. He answers the question and that's it. Just another sign this is all about them right now.

That was a really good convo with your wife. She is looking at other people, and sympathizing, even if it may be self reflection. But I think it's huge that she can recognize that she is has areas to work on.

I had the convo about happinesses comes from inside me and that no one or no thing can make me happy with my husband quite awhile ago. He brought it up around five months after I said it. They hear it. They absorb it. Maybe they bury it for awhile. But who knows when these little tidbits you give them will come back to you.
