Check out Other Half's post called "The Human Animal". It talks about being a strong, confident man like Sean Connery or Robert Redford. I think he is on to something. It sounds like detachment and "acting as if" personified. I think some people are reading too much into it but I think "piecers" like us might be able to use this wisdom to help us walk the last mile to marital bliss. I wonder if "Mapquest" could help me find that place? I have to be careful with this technique because I already have a confidence problem, too much. Give it a read to see if some of it may work for you.
Hey Zebra,
Not to stick my newbie nose where it doesn't belong but could this be your ticket to success. I know showing some strength helped you before. Is it time for more? You have helped me a ton so I am going to keep throwing out ideas and if you get sick of them, just let me know.
Update: W just called pissed off at the world, all except me. Yeaa. I listened and listened some more and said "it will be okay". Oh my, she is turning into me and I into her (I used to have quite an anger problem). We joke about the reversal of roles all the time. I told her I would pick up a tenderloin for dinner with my second "BIG" bonus check of the year. Here is another switch. She said "We don't have to spend it all, and don't buy me flowers either when you stop. We spent enough on the flowers around the house." I told you she can throw "curves" and "change-ups". I think I lightened her mood becuase she said she would "rub" my "tender" "loin" when I got home. Remember, she has a gourmet food shop (beef rub) and I was picking up a tenderloin. Well, I hope I didn't offend anyone, just having a little fun. On my way home to be strong, confident, caring and charming. That sounds even harder than walking and chewing gum at the same time.
