Although these posts were dated a long time ago I am very grateful to read these posts. I have been unable to sleep tonight (it’s now 01:40am WST) as I have a similar issue. I feel frustrated by the mental gap between myself and my husband. From where he has come from he is much easier to work with (*grateful*). However, as he’s improved, so have I. A sense of fear and lack of involvement from him really becomes a bug bear for me. I want nothing more than to gain the enormous momentum I KNOW we can if he contributed more towards self-education (I’m happy to DO the rest). I have been encouraging my husband to read RICH DAD POOR DAD also. He’s been reading it for weeks and I suspect is maybe half way through. I don’t mind doing the work ‘solo’ as such. It’s the mind set that drags me down and tends to frustrate me as it distracts from the results I want. He LOVES the outcome (money and ‘things’) of investing (we now have 4 investment properties, and his 4WD!) but I do ALL the work. I really struggle with this issue. I have discovered though that for a great result the ‘team’ needs consistent effort. I really live for the day where I feel supported. I seek great comfort knowing there are other ‘Robinson Caruso’s’, as I don’t feel so ‘lonely’. Now for some powerful questions: what skills am I able to learn to manage my frustration and STILL get support and results (FAST!)? I would love to develop or be part of a support network with the outcome for SUPPORT as opposed to focusing on the negatives. Is there one here currently? Thank you for having the courage to write your issue ‘Dazzling’. It may be ‘personal’ but I believe it is an integral issue requiring attention in order to get the outstanding results you (and I) want.
