Hi Cadet. I've been reading all of the links you provided and they're great. The problem is I'm pretty much guilty of doing all of the things these links say not to do. When we separated at 1st I was angry and wasn't very nice. Then I started with the desperation and pleading, crying, reminiscing about the good times. I already blew that right? So now what?
That is why it is called a 180!
It is not too late.
25mlc has given you good advice.
DB'ing is not a magic FIX or an easy button to press and all will be OK. It is a lot of hard work. It is never too late to start
My suggestion is get a beginners mind (DB101) and start from there.
