If I had a relationship here is what I would want to do in 2009
Listen more intently and complain less
Try and fulfill his needs, and help him accomplish his still yet to be dreams
look for the humor in our downfalls, and we'd laugh together
plan special weekend getaways once in a while to places HE'D like to go and see.
Encourage him to visit family and friends more...as our lives are getting shorter each day.
Encourage him to go out with his buddies more...to enjoy life, laugh, and live it.
Would have a manhattan waiting for him when he came thru the door at night. (used to love to do that)
encourage him to be intimate and loving, by sharing some of my deepest secrets and desires with him...
make him home made bread, pies, and pasta...(love to cook)
Well, I can dream can't I?
Quit honestly, I used to love being married.
Perhaps not a resolution, but Im going to push harder to get this divorce finalized. Not sure how that will affect my relationship with the dh, but It will be good for my relationship with my bf.
I do resolve to not put up with anymore BS from my ex DIL. I will not listen to her spew filth anymore and I will not take her phone calls at work unless it is an emergency. I will no longer fake plesantness while in her presence. I will never again help her when she is in a jam. Instead I will call child services. It will be difficult because I know my gkids may also be affected.
I think New Year's Resolutions are really stupid, not to be harsh but seriously. You should resolve each day to do your best at whatever you do. It's as simple as that. You shouldn't wait until a specific day in the calendar to choose to make changes to your life. If you want to get in shape, there's no time like the present! And we have a joke about the New Year's Resolution crowd at the gym, anyway, we always see them come in strong every January, the worst month of the year for people who actually use the gym regularly, and by February 15 or at latest March 1, they're all gone basically. At least 95% of them, and then things return to normal. It's really annoying. Nobody sticks with something if they make an arbitrary resolution like that.
When you want to change your life, you need to do it because it's something you really want, not because there's some sort of societal resolution day that everyone makes promises they can't keep.

I actually agree with you. I can't complain, especially when I was training full time, about the new years rush....brought in a lot of business for me . But yes, typically by the end of February half of them were gone and then another couple months another quarter of them were gone....by may 90 percent of them were gone. Although, I did notice that the ones who sprung for a trainer stayed the longest. I still have clients today that started as "resolutions".
