Normally, I don't set resolutions except the ones about not eating junk-food all year and the one about demonstrating perfect behavior the entire year ! You know....the ones I usually break before January 2nd.... [Linked Image from marriagebuilders.com] [Linked Image from marriagebuilders.com] [Linked Image from marriagebuilders.com]<P>Seriously, I really did set 2 goals for this year that relate to my marriage. (remember, H was the infidel yet I was the one who didn't listen to his cries for more attention...bottom line for us...both guilty of bad behaviors [Linked Image from marriagebuilders.com] [Linked Image from marriagebuilders.com]) and yes...we're still clearly on the right track.... [Linked Image from marriagebuilders.com] [Linked Image from marriagebuilders.com]<P>Resolution 1<BR>Do a better job of REALLY listening INSTEAD OF SHUTTING DOWN MY EARS while I form A DAMN good defensive response ! More counting to 10 and MUCH more time spent waiting to bring up a concern at a time when my husband might be more amenable to understanding and problem-solving.<P>Resolution 2<BR>Everyday....whether I'm annoyed or he's annoyed or we're busy or someone is traveling or the kids are wild (oh yeah, that happens everyday [Linked Image from marriagebuilders.com]) or whatever....EVERYDAY SHOW HIM At minimum, A SIGN THAT HE RECOGNIZES....THAT demonstrates that I CARE FOR HIM AND LOVE HIM DEARLY !!!!<P>Most probably I should have set these things in motion many moons ago....oh well....<P>Happy New Year to All<BR>-Tina

Hi teener,<BR>I didn't really make any resolution, but I did make sure that it has been long enough and everything that I was still holding about the affair was thrown out at midnight on friday.<BR>Oh yeah, I'm commited to also pay much more attention to every single detail in our relationship, and to make sure I really hear what he's trying to communicate since he's a bit challenged in that department LOL - still can't get him to talk about what he feels straight out, but I'm getting back to the point where I have a good idea from his actions and innofensive talks.Not back to the point where I cn read his mind, but close [Linked Image from marriagebuilders.com]<BR>Still quite commited to keep recreation time together a priority, and we're having great fun.<BR>He's helping by being there for me, and really listen too. <BR>It's working.<BR>A lot of work too, but worth.<BR>Hugs<BR>Kat
