I Finally Saw The Light!
Well, it all started with me complaining at lunch to a coworker about my quickly failing relationship (there's a lot of details but that isn't what my point is about). I sat there literally saying, "I mean come on, I cook him dinner, I picked up a job to help with bills, I take care of his kids like they are my own, what else could he possibly ask for? Why can't he see how he is affecting ME and MY feelings in this relationship? Why is he so insensitive towards my feelings? Why can't he do anything right?" That's when she suggested I get your book, "The Proper Care & Feeding of Husbands". She assured me that it opened her eyes and it would open mine too and that was all she said. She didn't give details and she didn't say how great it was. She left it up to me to make the effort to try and fix this before it was too late.
It took me about a week to sit on the thought and I finally stopped in at the local library and checked the book out among several other "How to fix your relationship" type of books. Needless to say, I never touched the other books; they didn't have what I needed. I needed some hard-core-in-your-face advice before I lost the best thing that ever happened to me. I was one of those selfish women who only worried about her feelings and what he could do to make ME happy and feel in love. What got me the most was while I sat there reading about those other women I was actually thinking, "why would anyone want to be with the kind of person" then the more I thought about it, the more I realized that I was one of those women.
Since then I have been trying to divert my energy to making my man happy instead of whining about how he wasn't making me feel like the queen of the world. I've talked less, listened more. I've done nice things without him having to ask me. Although it has been hard, I have also been learning how to accept him for who he is and even though his ways to do things are different than mine, they still get done and that is what matters. I have since then noticed a difference in our feelings towards each other and am looking forward to each and every day that we are together. Thank you for opening my eyes, I don't know how much longer he would have held on, but I'm pretty sure he was close to the end.
