Raliced - Climbing Without a Rope

[Shakspr]

I have heard, anecdotally, (okay, I know a couple) of women who were/are absolute Type A take-charge people in their public life, and more vulnerable/feminine at home (men do this too, btw.) Or vice/versa.

All you gals tell me how good you are at multi-tasking...so, here's an opportunity. Take no prisoners in the workplace...

But look for those opportunities in private to let STBX know you need a man with whom you can let you hair down, that you can trust to handle things if the problems get too big. That you want HIM to BE that man. If you get the chance...let him know how much you appreciate the positive changes he has made through this transition, WHATEVER they may be. Even if it's nothing more than the fact that you are attracted to his new decisiveness. You hope that it could be used in a different way, sure. But he can figure that out through your body language.

Few of us overgrown boys can resist the urge to rise to that sort of challenge. And I believe in the power of subtle suggestion. That's the sort of comment that will stick in his mind.

I haven't been a crier most of my life, but the past year has been weird. I have opened up to God a lot. And I find as I let go of stuff, tears often follow. If you have ever tapped into a higher power, now is the time to reinvigorate that relationship. It is cathartic when you are able to simply stop holding back.
