My posts may sound like 2x4s but I don't have those kinds of punitive thoughts when I'm writing. I'll have to think about that.
I don't think 2x4s work...on anyone. I can't control you any more that you can control your W.
I think you're doing a good job, you're beginning to think in different ways which is difficult but if we never try difficult things we never get anywhere.
Don't put pressure on yourself to be perfect, just make a promise to yourself to make small improvements everyday.
When you aren't focusing on what your wife is saying or thinking you have a lot more time to spend on you. There's a lot said about your W trying to control you but the answer to that lies in you. No on can control you unless you let them. Your thoughts and actions are your responsibility.
I asked you several posts back what your values are...so do you have an answer?
I am thinking differently, I even get a little high when I do it too. It's makes me wish I had tried it earlier in life.
When I text W this morning I didn't even really care that much if she even replied. It was nice not have the amount anxiety I have had in the past.
When you ask what my values are do you mean things like honesty, integrity etc?
