  • Go on dates. Get to know her. Talk to each other daily. Be patient and respectful. Admit your mistakes and work to correct them. Learn from them. Include her in your decision making. Find things that you two can do together as a couple (preferably that you both enjoy). Find things that you two can do separately of each other (take time for yourselves). Relax. Breath. Hold hands (when appropriate). Compliment each other daily. And do it all because you want to, not because you have to.



  • Back in college I took a computing class where the final exam was to take a PC we had built in class and the prof deliberately sabotaged the computer. Our assignment was to figure out what was wrong with it by the end of class time to pass the exam.

    ~He switched the power supply to the wrong voltage. I almost failed. 😅~






  • My son (10) sounds a lot like your son, and in my experience my son has gotten so much better with consistent encouragement and discussion around his emotions and social expectations (e.g. it’s okay to feel upset and/or disappointed, but it’s not okay to have outbursts because of the feelings, and there are better ways to express those strong emotions). I’ve also (single dad, so I don’t always know what mom does with him) grown to taking real life situations (i.e. when I get upset, or we’re watching TV and something happens on the show that has happened to him before) and having impromptu conversations. I genuinely feel these help more because he’s more receptive and not already upset; because when he’s upset he doesn’t want to listen to anything that anyone has to say at that point.

    It can be frustrating as a parent to have to keep reiterating the same messages over and over again, but I can assure you that when he gets it on his own, the pride you will feel for him will make it all worth it.

    Keep it up dad! You and mom got this!
