I never make the distinction between "rookie" and veteran. You shouldn't consider yourself a rookie either. You've come a long way in a relatively short time, my friend. That kind of progress isn't measured in weeks, months or years.
And don't ever be sorry for giving advice. I take advice. I leave advice. I never ignore advice. You never know when and where you get a lightbulb moment.
As to assuming the problem is me, you're right. However since the only thing I can change is me, that's where I have to focus my attention.
Admittedly, focussing on me can tear me apart sometimes, but the improvements in my R over the last (count 'em) two years is the result of trying to see myself from my W's perspective and then behaving in a manner that changes that perspective.
Thanks for your opinions, Steph. They're appreciated.
