GEL,

I know you're right, but that's really hard for me to do. It's basic to my makeup to want to understand the things going on around me. To bring enneagrams into yet another thread, I'm a 5. Look at the key motivations:

"Key Motivations: Want to possess knowledge, to understand the environment, to have everything figured out as a way of defending the self from threats from the environment."

Sound familiar? Remember when we first started to ML? I kept trying to figure out why. Was it something I did? was it something I said? Was it something I didn't do? I was going crazy trying to figure out what had changed to cause W to start ML.

Now, with all the comments about the different personality types and the conflicts between them, I'm thinking that my analysis may be part of the problem. Maybe my constant analyzing is one of the things that fuels W's LD - who wants their SL to be analyzed? I sure don't.

the point is, I'm trying to do as you suggest and just go with it. But it's hard.
