You two talking has helped me a great deal . Seeing the other side so to speak it illuminating. I was going to try to explain how it feels to be a man in a demanding job and having a family but I think you have got a hold on that. I can see where the resentment builds up on the other side now . I do like MWD SBT approach. Don’t focus on the past/ why find a solution, try different things , see what works .
I truly believe that you can get to a non zero sum gain with some solutions , where you both win . Apologies for interrupting, you are welcome to ask me not to chuck in my thoughts on your thread . Otherwise I will drop the odd post in once in a while
Hi Tryhard, thanks for your post. Sorry, I took such a long time writing my epic post earlier that I missed yours! I think the more we can understand the other person's perspective the better, so I would definitely be interested in your point of view from the male in an demanding job. There is a lot of gender stuff in here, which I think Alison has kind of seen both sides but I certainly haven't!
