[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Really what you guys are describing is becoming whole and secure with yourselves. Once you do that, it's a whole lot easier to let the little stuff (and the big stuff) roll off your back.

Of course, the question is...how to become secure and whole.[/quote]

I agree. I've gone through a similar progression in recent years (not so much about my husband, but other people in my life). I tend to take others' opinions as gospel and try to change myself to please them, and I realized how damaging this has been for me and for my relationships. I understand so much more about myself. I actually think this is something women struggle with more than men do. Many men (not all) just seem to be able to distinguish between who they are, not what others think/believe. I'm not sure if it's a nature/nurture thing, but I think it's likely that women are conditioned to listen, please, obey, adapt much more than men are and so little things become big things in our lives. It's good to gain perspective and understand that it's okay to shrug some stuff off as being irrelevant.[/quote]
