I accepted and let go of my desire to try to control. I have let this go. Even tho I am an alpha person, I have realized the destructive power trying to "win, control or manipulate" another person over is. Sometimes, things do not go/will not go my way. Put on your big girl pants and DEAL.
I accepted and acknowledge his feelings of not being appreciated for his contributions (I took him for granted). I have accepted, left it on the alter.
I have accepted my responsibility of contempt. Not only in my marriage, but contemptuous speech and actions with others. I have dedicated myself to working on talking to people as equals, not to act as if I am on the "slightly higher ground". Using names, sarcasm or criticism/judgement as my position. (this one hurt a lot to fully realize. Contempt is a very powerful tool, that is easy to abuse.)
