Gordie #20: patiently living my life

[Gordie]

HaWho and job thank you for the encouragement

I am a better man but still a work in progress

Example of the week

W was really vexed

She was acting like she was when things were bad

Turning her back to me if we were in the same room

Giving me death stares

Inside I was in a panic and mind racing

Is she filing for d again

Is there om3

And then she finally let me have it

She was really upset about an event with the kids in which she felt unwelcome

I listened

I did not take all the blame

But I could do things differently to make her feel more welcome

And afterwards she was all happy and normal

She gets terribly upset about things

And then holds it in and resentment against me builds

Letting it out after a few days is a big improvement over holding it in forever




So some advice

W has developed new interests

That are very different from my own

I am fine with that

Issue is she wants me to participate

But I really have no interest

Do I continue to politely decline

Or join in to show I support her new interests
