I can't remember the day (or night) when I had this lightning bolt realization either, but when I did, it pretty much paralyzed me. I still can't fathom why it took so long for me to completely grasp the idea of treating others the way I want to be treated. I must be the biggest dumba$$ west of the Mississippi or something.
Most of us think that we are treating others as we want to be treated, when we give THEM, what WE want to receive. Its far more productive to let them know with directness and honesty, despite any fear, what we want.
If your a guy and ALL you want from your W is sex, thats going to make her feel the equivalant of your feeling like she only wants you for your paycheck.
I agree UD, Corri's doing/posting some good stuff. I remember you made a post to HP when I first started here, I was like YES!! Its too bad you arent around more. That was another good post.
