my wife left, but still lives with me

[tough spot]

You know that point in a relationship where both parties are so jaded/wounded from previous stuff, any little thing can be taken the wrong way/spark an argument? That point where there is so little trust that neither party will bring up what is really important to them? That was kind of where we were.

Talking to the counselor, she recommended a book called 'the four agreements'. It is about...'Be impeccable with your word. Don't take anything personally. Don't make assumptions. Always do your best. It's the how and why one should do these things that make The Four Agreements worth reading and remembering. --P. Randall Cohan '.

I know i can take things both personally and the wrong way.....ordered that book and actually have to pick it up today as it came in. I am sure that will solve all my problems
