Odd, I went to the book store tonight and got both of Micheles books. I had that one in my hand as well and put it down.
While I can agree that I am in need of pulling back, (I am trying to) she is the one who has changed recently and I was hoping to reduce the change a little. Our marrage has never led me to believe she was in control of it in the past as I would always do what I want and include her as well as try to do things with her. But since she has changed and in particular in the last month, you are correct, she has been more in control than I. The last week or so has seen changes in myself. She called me tonight and I did not answer the phone as I was driving and did not return her call until much later.
The changes in the bedroom have been probably the biggest swing in the control around here, and as I said, if I kept my mouth shut, none of the other problems would have come out and we probably would have had sex the day she gets back. As it is, who knows when. I am not concerned about that, but the closing the bathroom door while naked is offensive to me since she has NEVER done that before the last fight, in 10 years.
Thanks for the points...I am listening and will check out that book.
