Need Help Staying on my Feet, PART 4

[Still_Standing]

So you're off to walk around that mountain yet again, I see.

Sorry, you lost me on this one. Am I off on a tanent again?

You know, HH, I agree with everything that FGH is telling you but I'm gonna take a wild stab in the dark here and suggest that this is a simple matter of respect.

Can you tell me, is it just your wife that you think is beneath you,
or is it women in general?

My quick answer is neither. But apparently something is oozing out of my pores to make you ask me this. Are you asking me about respect because of my need to always prove myself right?

I don't think of my W as beneath me, nor women in general. I don't like the path that my W has chosen and I don't appreciate her tactics in dealing with her pain and anger towards me, but I have no control over that except to mind my p's and q's when we are together and to do my best to respect her as my equal.

I will tell you this, I have been told that I can, and do, come off as arrogant to both men and women, so I'd venture to say it's not a gender thing with me, but respecting others is definitely a behavior that I need to be extremely mindful of. I don't intentionally disrespect anyone. That doesn't mean I don't do it though. I do realize that intention doesn't count for much. Actions are what speak the loudest. Thanks for chiming in Amy, made me think about me.
