When I quit complaining and say either yes and no and then DO IT I grow in my manhood. This has just come to me as I am 180ing and taking back alot of responsibility for my role as a husband, father and all around good man. I come from a family of pouters and I know that griping is not attractive and helps no one.

Yesterday WAW was asking me to help look after the kids more cause she is stressing out her family. I started into (guilt)" well you know I HAVE to rebuild my life now cause..." and then I just trailed off knowing my complaining would touch a raw nerve.

Then I thought "Man the h&ll up."

so I texted her "I would like to help, what can I do" and though I wasn't there I know she softened and sent me a text that we could work on with the kids. Business and matter of fact, but she knows there i still caring involved.


I make the sacrifices to put my children's interests and well being above my own. Doesnt matter right now that WAW put me in this position. I am still dark. But I still have responsibilities and since her love language is "acts of service" I show her in an indirect way that by caring for my kids I care for her....not loud..not "look at me honey..I am taking the bullet for you!" but just doing it cause it needs to be done for my family.

So yeah gonna put the kabosh on the complaining and focus on the other decisive 4Cs around her. This makes me feel good and again I will say it. I like the new me. I am becoming a psychological, emotionally healthy gladiator so bring it!

Don't give up when you still have something to give. Nothing is really over until the moment you stop trying.
