I agree, I am definately not whistling zippidity do dah and it is probably more authentic and definately not hegative. I probably didn't articualte myself clearly.

Honestly I did/do feel sad for her...I am a compassionate person and as her husband, watching from a distance, it is painful to see her go through this process. When I think about trying to step in and intervening, saying something I revert back to these sentences about detaching:
Detachment is the: * Ability to allow people, places or things the freedom to be themselves. * Holding back from the need to rescue, save or fix another person from being sick, dysfunctional or irrational. * Giving another person "the space" to be herself.
Anyway, since I am off for the next 2 weeks I started reading "Hold On To Your Nuts" and am working on my Non-negotiable, Unalteredable Terms for myself. I thought it was a good way to start 2018!
