Here are some basic changes that you will need to be aware of. They’re not a fix, but they will at least keep you out of the cross hairs for a time.
One of the more important is-
–The Bathroom
Basically cede all time to her.
-just know, showering together may well never happen again
-Do not approach
-Do not knock
– do not jiggle the knob
-no questions through a closed door
-don’t move any little jars
– replace tp roll
-pick up clothes
-wipe stubble and toothpaste
– never flush when she’s in shower
JUST KEEP OUT!!
—Intimacy
.. Good luck with that. You my friend need to become familiar with your computer functions. Private browsing is your new best friend. Deleting history is also helpful, but in actuality, she doesn’t care what you do as long as she’s not involved.
Be satisfied with the peck on the lips on a good day, the cheek on a regular day and the arms down 1.2 second hug on most days . Don’t expect to spoon, spork , or any other utensil based affection. Get used to her back, as she faces the wall.
Expect the pregnant pause after you say I love you ………………………yeah I love you too
—“fixing it”
These are things you should just stop doing to save the relationship because they really don’t help (And frankly seem a little pathetic) I know, I did all of them..
-sending flowers, love letters, gifts,
writing songs or poetry
-making gourmet meals
-cleaning the house
– talking
-Being in the line of sight
Expect a loss of basically all of these!
-Sense of humour
-Reasoning
-Understanding Sarcasm
-Memory
-Compassion
-Touching
-Romance
-Patience
-Attentiveness
-Interaction
Recognition
Tact
Fun
Giving A Shit!
Develop a thick skin and disregard, and do not engage or retaliate to the dismissive “you’re ridiculous” ………
-eye roll
-head shake
– sigh
-stink eye
-pursed lips
-tight jaw
-teeth suck
-Pfff
– Tahuh
-cough
– Laugh
Any combination of these together heightens the “your pathetic” message….example-eye roll with head shake..(try it)
– eye roll/ head shake/sigh
-cough/eye roll
-teeth suck/sigh
– pursed lip/eye roll/laugh
Even all “you’re an idiot” gestures at once, may be used at a particularly pathetic time.
Take a minute and practice your own combination in preparation for your own dismissive moment.
If you ever, ever do the laundry, you must, I repeat, must check the washing instructions on every single garment… God help you if you shrink, ruin or discolor any article of clothing!.. And don’t forget fabric softener… and use enough of it !
Don’t give weight to the accidently on purpose diss. Consider it menopausal Turrets.
-what is wrong with you!
– are you kidding me!
-what are you talking about!
– that’s ridiculous!
-you don’t make sense!
-maybe you should think first!
