Quote: be respectful of her feelings, of her space, still letting her know my needs and thoughts while avoiding placing any responsibility for my feelings and thoughts on her.
How are you doing in this regard, Z?
I agree with you there. If that isn't done first, everything else falls apart. Doesn't matter whether you're dark or not.
I practiced the first part of the quote last night while trick-or-treating with W and the boys, but left out the part about letting her know my needs and thoughts. She asked once about work...but I dodged the issue and let her do the talking. So it was a one-sided affair....not too engrossing. Felt empty afterward.
