The material presented
here is not Al-Anon Conference Approved Literature. It is a method
to exchange
information, ideas, feelings, problems and solutions on a personal
level.
one of my faults is that i set too high expectations for myself and people i love. I try to reason with myself and lower them but dont succeed at it much. This leaves the recipient feeling less than and that he or she lacks something. Yet i go the other way too. I dont have enough confidence in myself and so i dont believe i can acheive. Im sorry if this is confusing. The thing is that I do this to my new guy who is so sensitive and tries so hard to please. He has never been married so he tends to not to realize some things that i do about relationships..what am i saying..ive been in 3 failed marriages.. I dont want to hurt him but sometimes he is too verbally casual about it all. I chak it up to being tired or out of practice. On the phone especially, i often feel that the exchange and relationship has lost alot of intensity. I dont want to smother or run it either. ..maybe its because we havnt seen each other in a wek which is unusual for us. he has had alot of long hrs at his job including weekends and im not working yet
