Hey LH19 - I saw in another thread that you mentioned since your D you'd probably read about 40 books on self-improvement and relationships (while your EXW had read maybe one). Can you think of maybe the best book that I should look into for this point in my situation? Or maybe something generically good and helpful? Appreciate it.
Doug I think every man should read "How to be a 3% Man" by Corey Wayne. If you are looking for something to get your mind off your sitch I would suggest "Four Agreements". Of course at some point you should read the "Five Love Languages". The girl I am dating just borrowed my copy this morning.
Are you hitting the gym Doug?
Thanks for the suggestions. Want to hear some horrible irony? W gifted me a copy of "The Five Love Languages" many years ago and I never fully read it. I guess I got what I deserve.
And yes, I'm always hitting the gym. If I strike out in post-marriage dating, it won't be due to my body (uh... I hope not).
I wouldn’t say it’s horrible irony. If you read it and implemented it perfectly I doubt it would make a difference. You guys were raising 5 kids together and your marriage likely got put on the back burner. Unless she begged you to go to marriage counseling and you refused this isn’t on you. She’s looking for the tingles and you can’t provide it for her RIGHT now. Mr. EA or PA is providing that right now.
