Some interesting things to note for today. What a learning process this has all been for me. Before that, in terms of journaling, not much happening really. W didn't have to go in for overtime tonight which left us a few hours to actually spend together. All in all, I did an okay job with masking emotions, but there were still there. *sigh* This will get easier, I know it...
In any event, I only wish I knew then what I know now. Validation. What a powerful concept in any relationship...had I known any of this before, maybe everything could have been avoided, but I guess its better late than never. This concept permeates every one of the principles we all have been trying to employ...
My reading list the past couple of days includes "I Don't Have to Make Everything OK" by the Lundbergs, which I strongly suggest to anyone on this board, and "Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus", by John Gray. Both very, very empowering books. At the very least, the concepts contained in these books will enhance any relationship, whether it is personal or business. At the very least, my next ex-wife will appreciate it
