Dealing with a WW and finding my happiness pt. 5

[SteveLW]

ST, I understand that this is difficult to go through. But one of the things I learned throughout my sitch was that I needed to be thick-skinned. WASs. WSs have a unbelievable capacity to be insensitive and hurtful. This is another reason that detachment is so important. sandi says to treat them like the cashier at the store. If the cashier at the store said those things to you you wouldn't care. Getting to that point with your spouse, who you've committed your life to (and they've done the same back) is difficult! But extremely helpful when you get there. When an obstinate spouse no longer gets any reaction to their spiteful comments, including the body language that is very subtle but that they are masters of picking up on, they will not get their fix of having an affect and stop the behavior.
