a man put her first in his thoughts and the purpose of his life’s mission.
Yeah, I guess I left out some parts. As I read Dieda, I understood the man's role is to share the gifts of his life's purpose with his woman. His mission (what ever that might be) is his purpose, not his woman.
Harry,
There have been a few times when I had the chance that is coming to you know. My mother told me long ago that I should have treated W the way she treated me, but I would never do it. But she was right. Those few times when I was able to do the same to her as she did, she never said anything because she knew what she had done first, and she then knew how it felt. Your wife has NO sense of empathy, zero, zilch. The only way she will come to understand how she treats others is the receive that treatment herself.
It might seem cruel to make the same comment to her about whether she needs you in the room, but on the other you might actually be doing her a favor in the long run, IF she can put two and two together and realize how you felt.
I also suggest you pick up Dieda sooner rather than later.
