I think I was typing this and then got distracted. I read this quote somewhere in my reading, possibly this site. What I meant to say is, I am making a commitment to become more conscious of the times when I am only making matters worse by stubbornly sticking to what I know isn't working.
I would also like to comment to ovrrbnw's post. I know that you are stating not to be friends with her, but one of the issues she is complaining about is that she did not feel we had an emotional connection. If I want to show her that I am able to have that deep emotional connection, the best way to do that is to show her that I can do it as a friend. I am going to talk to my coach about it tonight and come up with a strategy.
