Hi Sage,

even the worst behaviors are manifestations of fear and that shedding personalization and ASSumptions and embracing a willingness to accept the other person as they are



Beautifully written! This in itself would be a huge 180 for me in every R...romantic or otherwise and I completely agree with you.

I'm not sure it "works" or that it "works" for all sitchs or whatever...Actually, I AM pretty sure that there's no one sure fire technique...that's pretty fundamental DB'ing, no? do what works....without saying exactly what that is.




I agree here as well. I know what was working so I'll go back to that. Thank you for your insight, advice, suggestions...we have to try everything to figure out what works!

anyway, in your particular sitch, I just have this sense (MHO ONLY) that your h is looking for a way back IN...wants to believe that things can be different and more positive...




I was starting to feel this way...until these last two days. Not too sure now.

Well, enough hijacking. My thread is, as always, full of details.

Thank you!!!

How's that garden coming along?

Have a great day.
