Quote: Know what I find humorous? The spouse that asked for the divorce supposedly "tried everything".
Bwah ha ha!
I was the one who read the R books, offered counseling, unilaterally disarmed, etc. Even before discovering DB, I was in effect practicing it. She has never done any of these things.
However, I am dealing with a woman with a psych degree and me being the prototypical emotionally stunted neanderthal...er... male, what do I know?
So, I've gone back to grunting, pointing, and scratching under my armpits and I leave the real "communicating" to my X. All hail!
