...Chris, you have been "conditioned" to adjust your ways based on your W's moods. She ingrained something into you, and that was you had better not pi$$ her off. So, you kind of walk around on eggshells never knowing when she's going to blast on you. Trying to keep her in a good mood became a fulltime job. Those were the dynamics of your MR. If the M is going to be a success, those dynamics must change.
I read this as if it were directed at me! LOL!!
This is a hard habit to break, especially if you don't want the marriage to end. Even this morning (if you read my thread), I was a little stressed about making sure I left the house in perfect shape before my W came home. Meanwhile, she does whatever she wants and doesn't worry about how I will react. Talk about a one-sided relationship!
