NDY,

I think it is important to keep emotions in check throughout this process. When people are emotional or feel strongly about a topic/matter, the timbre of communications can really escalate and people do say regrettable things that they cannot take back.

It is important to remember that you've already communicated the no-OM boundary and no D desire to W. She clearly knows where you stand. No need to repeat them ad nausem nor in a shrill, girly voice. wink

The communicaton books that have helped me immensely during my own DB journey are as follows:

Nonviolent Communication by Marshall B. Rosenberg

People Skills: How to Assert Yourself, Listen to Others, and Resolve Conflicts by Robert Bolton

The Lost Art of Listening: How Learning to Listein Can Improve Relationships by Michael Nichols

All of ^^ these books dovetails very nicely with Divorce Remedy.

There's this other book that I found helpful in business communications and I've utilized some of the techniques in my other communications as well.

The A to Z of Being Understood: Make your Voice Heard and Conversations Count by Kay White


Let's get back to the emails from W...shall we? smile

What was the latest one from W regarding S9?
