I am about half-way through the DR book and I have to say I'm not sure if the tactics (180's, LRT) I've read so far will actually work.. It is really hard for me to stay positive and act like nothing is wrong around my W. All she does is ignore me and only responds when she has to with very short answers. So now I am suppose to do the same to her but be happy about it?!? Anybody have any tips for me? This is tough...
Hi Mike - I'm in Michigan too. Must be something in the water here, huh?
To be clear, you aren't supposed to ignore her. You are supposed to not pursue her and to detach from her. Be interested in things she says, have normal conversations (though NOT about your M or R). What you want to avoid is the following her around or feeling forced to have conversations. Keep it light, keep it positive.
