Quote: So to avoid MOS behaviors, reflect on a better balance b/t attending to the R and to one's self?
Absolutely! I think this is how things spiral out of control in the first place (note my post this morning). When we begin to feel our SOs pulling away, for whatever reasons, we shift into high gear and sink all of our emotional capital into trying to save the R, when really what we've learned to do now through DR is to reinvest our emotional capital into ourselves.
Wow, did I just say that? And my prof thinks I'm an idiot!
