Allison a lot of what you describe comes back to our dignity and self worth and what we will allow. I remember an old coworker told me once "We teach people how to treat us"
Thanks for those links Ready2Change. I have seen the posted before and I always find them true.
Over the past 4 months since BD I have corrected everything she had mentioned as the problem areas. But recently new stuff is piling up, like little petty things. So I almost want to say "You are really going to break our family , cause 5 years ago I didnt have my cell phone with me when you called etc..."
That determination in their eyes that even if we walk on water and heal the sick it still wont matter, kills me.
As far as attraction things I changed are. (some are from the DR book and this forum as well as online)
I talk less, (more mystery). I lower my voice. Listen more and end conversations first. I don't speak negatively of others.
Actually slowing down and sometimes doing nothing (as recommended) helps.
