Yet another thread locked ( Muddle's Waters ) - thanks Whatis for locking it on a good note!
I just rode into work through what's left of the snow and ice on my mountain bike. Studded snow tires work wonders! I went up a 27 degree grade through slush and snow like it was dry! What a rush - just have to watch out for drivers who can't handle the stuff.
Well, I've decided that I'm done muddling through this situation. I've found myself on a track that is pretty clear to me. I've still got a lot of work to do, but I know where I'm headed. Things may or may not be working out in my marriage - W may be beyond the point where she's willing to turn around - but I've found the way I'd like to live out my life. Interacting with my W is a good way to hone these skills - it's difficult to respect myself when my W takes me for granted and always condemns me for not being thoughtful or nice etc., just because she thinks of something other than what I've done that she thinks would have been nice. I want to be regarded as nice and loving according to her, but I also need to recognize and respect myself for everything I do and have done. I just don't want to do the same thing over and over and call her crazy for not appreciating it.
