D.E.T.A.C.H.

The world needs more acronyms, right?? Lol. Kidding, but I came across this one and shared it with my single sister-in-law who keeps thinking she can change men.

Don't
Even
Think
About
Changing
Him

In love there is attachment, but to keep it healthy there has to be some detachment, too.

I know when I was dating I experienced my own levels of crazy, but I'm happy to say I learned from them. I hope my sis does too. She actually wants a guy she's dating to stop watching so much golf and to not wear carpenter pants. The kicker, though? She got mad when he suggested she not wear the cold shoulder shirts that are all the rage these days. I gently pointed out that was no different from her wanting him to dress differently. I also said it points to a shaky foundation right out of the shoot.

Am I wrong?

I didn't go into my relationship settling. I didn't say "well, I like him, buttttt......"

I accept my husband for who he is. He's a morally upstanding man, so any annoyances I might have are trivial and I detach myself from them. I celebrate the good stuff.

Just thinking outloud....
