Interesting observation, Tisha. Let’s compare how I feel about Austinn based solely on his behavior on the forum versus how he wants his wife to change.
Reduce feelings of resentment. Well I resent Austinn asking for help, getting a ton of it from the forum, then starting a whole new thread asking for the exact same help claiming he didn’t get any the first time around.
Make them more agreeable to working through problems rather than throwing in the towel. I feel burned by Austinn and not only want to throw in the towel on helping him, I want to stop others from wasting their time responding to his post.
Trust you. Respect you. Based on his behavior in this forum, I neither trust nor respect Austinn.
Which I suppose leads me to being bitchy, unfriendly, less suggestible, and less submissive, all of which are issues Austinn says he’s having with his wife.
So I have to say it seems to me Austinn is the problem in his relationship and the troubles he’s having with his wife seem more to do with her growing up than anything else.
Still, I recommended some pheromones in the hopes that the self-effects might shake something loose. And to placate him so he’ll go away and stop bothering us. Everyone else, please review Austinn’s earlier thread before chiming in here.
