I was getting depressed thinking about how long this process could take and if I could even do it. Then of course I started thinking of how long this could take and it could be all for nothing as far as my marriage.

I have noticed she is wearing sexier clothes to work than what she used to and she is doing her hair and makeup differently.


Hard when that happens, hard not to notice things like this. Nothing is preventing you from making some style changes as well. Maybe a wardrobe update...yeah yeah money...Thrift stores my man, they aren't for bums anymore. Hows the working out sit-ups push-ups, the stuff you don't need a gym for going?

I guess it got me down because I started thinking she was doing this for the attention of other men.


maybe, maybe its other women...that's sort of hot.
All kidding aside.

Dressing up is part of the MLC for many, changes to style are another part of it. From your own point of view don't you feel better about yourself even a little bit when you dress up and know you look good?

Then I started to think that if we don't get back together...


I have an exercise for you when you feel this way. You can do this as many times as needed and it works.


Do you have a newspaper?

Go get it.

Roll it up into a tight roll.

Close your eyes.

Hit yourself on the nose with the newspaper.

This is called negative reinforcement.

Stop focusing on that negative goal.

You can thank me later.
