I have been adamantly reading and listening to Laura Doyle for the past few months and applying to skills to my marriage. It’s been working so well so far! I know LD talks about surrounding yourself with like minded women to support each other and to “phone a friend” when needed.

Unfortunately, most of the women I know (especially the younger ones) are extremely feminist and are the type to say “red flag! Run! He’s a gaslighting narcissist with weaponized incompetence and communication issues and [insert other psychobabble here.]” I’ve actually noticed I become more argumentative towards my husband when I’ve been around some of the women in my life. They stress me out and give me opposite advice on how to fix a problem, always blaming the man lol.

I know LD has a Facebook community that you can pay to join but I’m just not in a place to commit to that financially right now. Plus, my husband and I have a joint bank account and I really don’t want him to know I’m practicing the skills! I want to see if I really can improve my marriage without his knowledge that I’m doing so.

Which leads me to this: would anyone like to form a surrendered circle where we can talk about the skills, our wins, find our blind spots, and help each other become the best versions of ourselves? Let me know. It would be amazing to know like minded women to talk to!
