Dang it. I just saw all these posts after our convo. I think I made her feel guilty on accident.

I just realized I was testing the waters without even realizing it

I’m an idiot

I’m not smart enough for this. I just realized I’m trying to manipulate her back. I feel rotten

Did you validate her feelings? Or did you parent her?

ozman, you fell off the DB horse. We've all done that. Get back on it and ride again!

Put mistakes in the rearview mirror, focusing on the road ahead.

You've got this! You've proven in your posting here that you are plenty smart.

Remember, an alpha wouldn't say I am not smart enough. An alpha would say "I am friggin awesome!"

Take things One day at a time, one hour or even one minute at a time. Learn from your mistakes. Challange yourself to do better the next time.


What are your goals for your meeting tonight?

Take charge of my finances. Get the money train back on track. She will be in in convo with lawyer and our finances are a huge reason she is unhappy.

I want to own this convo with lawyer and set clear financial tracks in font of her about how we are gonna right the financial ship

I just don’t want to scare her with too much future talk. Just SHOW her our finances don’t gave to be so bleak

I do it regularly, check out for a few days or even a week; it helps me to think about things other than my situation.

You are just spinning like crazy. Its not healthy; take a break brother. Rome wasn't built in a day, your M wasn't screwed up in a day, and you aren't going to fix it in a day. Or in a single conversation, interaction, or otherwise.

What is something that YOU like to do? Not what you think she wants you to do; what do YOU like to do?

oz - listen to LB55. I can tell you are an obsessive ruminator, just like me. Get off the forum for a day. Too much time on the board can feed the tendency to ruminate and obsess which is the opposite of DB.

Ok. Thanks

Side note I owned financial talk. Assertive but not controlling very alpha but still listened to W suggestions high is a 180 for me. When she brought up suggestions. I validated. ( hmmm I see where your coming from)

She made a vague reference to future and it sounded like we were together. But I tried not to read too much into it

Maybe some progress?

Oz,

Try not to read into anything she says and does not say.
