In general, I think mind-games are bad. IMHO, DB techniques aren't supposed to be games.
quote:Excerpt from DivorceBusting: Sometimes after reading about doing a 180 people wonder, “isn’t this technique like game playing? Isn’t it manipulative?” Continuing to do the same old thing even though it doesn’t work is no less game-like than doing something different. In fact, since relationships are like seesaws, if one person expresses all the optimism and confidence, the other person is free to feel all the pessimism and insecurity. Spouses often balance each other out in this way. When one person’s views are extreme, it forces his or her partner to adopt an equally extreme view in the opposite direction.
And the worst mind game of all is doing things to make 'em jealous. Like Z said (and for all the right reasons), it's playing with fire.
