My Wife Keeps Bringing Up the Past

and what I did about it.

Damn you Eckhart Tolle

I really enjoy watching Eckhart Tolle videos.

He often talks about being present.

The philosophy of being present helped me tremendously in my life.

I would worry less about the future, and would easily let go of the past.

But because of a mistake I made. Which I was at fault at.

My wife would never let go of the past, and kept on bringing it up every day.

I would get very frustrated and we would always fight about this.

I even suggested to my wife that she should watch Eckhart Tolle videos.

This made the fights even worse.

I would then try to explain the importance of being present to her.

This didn’t help either.

I thought there must be something wrong with my wife, she just couldn’t forgive me and always stayed in the past.

This lasted for two years.

My revelation

Recently I made a big revelation.

She told me: “You don’t have any empathy for me. I need your empathy. Not your lectures.”
