Sage- I am loving your thread and postings! So positive and solution focused! You are an inspiration.
Thank you for this summary on listening. I have been realizing even before I read this, that I tend to be a bit self-focused (like to get praise but am stingy with offering it, in the past I probably did nice things so that I would be recognized rather than just the joy of doing them, etc). I think that the listening problems that you listed are part of that. I am also going to save your latest post so that I can formulate some goals for myself.
This crazy MLC of my H has definitely been eye opening. I am not blaming myself for his actions but am recognizing how my behavior didn't help. I want to be a better partner as much as I want him to as well. Now I just need to wait for him to realize this kind of stuff as well.
If you get a chance, can you pop over to MLC and check out my latest posts?
