One Art—look what I found! It’s like a Rosetta Stone for your posts. Love it!



Journaling



Reconnection

More time together

More communication

More non sexual contact

More sexual contact


Conflict

There are some persistent areas of conflict

Where we are not on the same page

I accept that we are not on the same page

She wants me to change


Criticism

Sometimes it is warranted

Sometimes it is not

Mole hills quickly become mountains

I do my best to de escalate


Sorrow

Persistent sadness about her life

Dreams that have died

What could have beens

Envy towards others


Loneliness

She burned bridges with old friends

And she is no longer hanging with the new friends

One close friend moved away

One MLC friend remains


GAL

I am healthy

Kids are slowly getting better

Work is good

I am enjoying my life
