Agreed. And I've been doing that since 2/14 with great results up until this weekend. I could have brought up SO MUCH STUFF yesterday if I wanted to sink to her level and I didn't.

I'm getting better at this....slowly but surely. Bringing up stuff she said from the past won't help me or our marriage.
