I have a good tool now

The reason I started with this Quest on Mindvalley's online quest, am just now entering a love relationship for the first time in perhaps a decade or more. Have had several occasions over the past 12 months of this relationship which is a remote type of romance, to argue. Stubbornly, I held to my ground and prepared to withdraw back into my own private world. However, before I could retreat, I reached the Forgiveness Phase of the 6 Phase Meditation. Needless to say, it was his presence in my life, which became my pilot study in this Quest. I actually told him that I forgave him for his abrupt desire to control my behavior, yet still appreciated him, and felt pleasure in his company. We are over this hump for the moment, yet I have a good tool for next time! Thx.
