Well said. Wonka recommended a book to me called "The Lost Art of Listening". I keep talking about it on here. It's good, especially after the first few chapters. There's another one called "Fierce Conversations" that I started and will someday finish. For me, the way to keep working on a relationship is to communicate more effectively. That's my work now while I'm separated from W. (Separated is an optimistic term, btw.)
