Thank you for saying, it was not always the case. I was impatient and ego driven for a very long time. Since my wife's affair in '08 I've spent a lot of time in self reflection and determined it is all rooted in selfishness. I wanted it my way. I now try to make the choice that is best for the family member I am interacting with. I respect their wishes and am non confrontational with my input. After all it's about helping them with their life, not about me solving their problem.
How is your relationship with your wife evolving? What does your heart say about your circumstance? How are you holding up?
