Ooh! I took a peek. If I was single, I would really sign up, he just makes so things soooo easy!!
This:
Yes. I mean, duh, but to see it so clear...helps.
That is why my husband is my dreamboat. I value small town, blue collar, simple living, honesty, faithfulness, affection, and laughter most of all and he possesses all of that. He melts me, (when he smiles, talks or touches me) while I have heard other women describe him as "homely." He has heard it too... he just laughs at it, he is super confident (I learn a lot from him).
Anyway, yes, successful relationships are a lot about the self... knowing ourself, loving ourself...
Great stuff!!

She needs help, runs to him, they are together. Then after being sober with him for a few weeks, she tells him she needs a "cowboy" (aka "bad boy"). She literally tells him he is "too nice" for her. He knows it is going nowhere but runs back every time anyway. It's crazy to watch. Now she has cancer, so he may be in it for the long haul. |

WindSister, I feel for your brother-in-law. He’s looking at a unique form of hell.

I reckon that if one can't learn anything from this Mark Manson bloke, then one isn't trying very hard.

WindSister , I feel for your brother-in-law. He’s looking at a unique form of hell. Well, thing is, he isn't even married to her. They have one of those decades-long "on again, off again" relationship. Not much a person can do. She has created her own hell on earth and he is choosing to ride along. She uses him so I don't like her, cancer or not. Any woman that actually says (and means), "I just can't be with you because I need a 'cowboy'" is pretty messed up. THEN her "cowboy" ends up abusing her, using her so she runs back to BIL. Who takes her in, helps her get sober, get a job, yada, yada only to be dumped again for whatever fairytale vision she has in her ten year old girl mind. (she's 55) I could hold more compassion for her, but I don't believe in enabling people and that is what he is doing by "helping" her again and again and again. |

Update: I just finished the Mark Manson dating and relationships course. I can only speak for myself - but for me, the most powerful part of the course was the lesson that talked about boundaries. Basically, a gentle reminder that it’s a mistake to make another person responsible for how you feel about yourself - and also a mistake to make yourself responsible for another person’s happiness. Another good thing to check out is a book by Kristin Neff called Self-Compassion. She also has a website, and you can use her guided meditations for free. northstarmom, the guided meditations reminded me of some of the things you’ve talked about. |
