I like your C's list a lot Amba. I can say H and I still have many of those things in our marriage, but are missing a lot of the BIG ones. Like truthfulness, faithfulness, passion. Those are biggies.
Heather, your list is fabulous and is how I try to live my life too, plus always trying to "do unto others." And I'm glad PatientMan's steps help you Amba. I don't have OCD, but do tend to spin when my H starts spewing, and wrote them down as a road map to detaching and getting into control of myself again. I already took a deep breath and decided that I do not have to decide anything right now, just in case! That is pretty freeing!
Thanks PM, that is why you are so awesome
