Thanks for downloading my call of the day podcast. You too can participate in my live

radio program heard weekdays from 2 to 5 p.m. Eastern time on Sirius XM Triumph

111. Katie welcome to the program.

Hi, thanks for taking my call again, Dr. Laura.

Ah, and what did we talk about the first time?

My husband had an affair and we have a two-year-old daughter

together and I had told you your going through marital counseling and

I you had suggested that I read your book

The Proper Care and Feeding of Husbands and the proper care and feeding of husbands and to get more involved in our

synagogue community, which I have done both. We have done both. And well I just wanted to update you because

you had said to call back and love it, you know, and it is going a lot better.

I feel like we are getting along like closer to what I feel like we were before everything all happened.

What have you changed? What have you changed? What have you changed?

What have I changed? I've just really been using your mantra a lot about like is this the

hill I want to die on and really not pushing things that aren't a big deal to me really and it's just like you know little things in the grand scheme of things and I don't need to be so obsessive and perfectionistic all the time.

And what do you notice that he's changed?

I feel like he has been more open to me and knowing that like even if he tells me something that I don't really

want to hear he knows that I'll be a little bit calm like I'm calmer now and

even though I don't like to always hear all his like

truth it's like I would rather stay calm and listen to him than really discourage

him being honest.

So I've noticed.
