I'm reading the DR book...specifically the Last-Resort technique. One section jumped out at me:
Quote
Learn quickly to back off, shut up, and walk away when I want to speak out
I felt very strongly that I demonstrated this when I hesitated to speak about what's on my mind and told her that I don't want to talk about because it will be emotionally charged and only negativity has come out of it.
She said we should shelve it and I agreed. While I was still shaken (really shaken), I was proud that I did not succumb to my emotions and told her how I really felt. About what how OM is really affecting me, about what I did to cause her to see OM and even imply that W is going camping with OM this weekend.
