Sometimes it's good to get someone else to help you think it through.<br /><br />The best to you.Gary Sinclairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02816458828781915540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8966990811389811665.post-64715792467016659812012-10-13T08:19:24.591-04:002012-10-13T08:19:24.591-04:00Oh yeah!

Hubby and I's last fight: I was helping him (read: doing it for him) with his school work while he played video games, screaming at the stupid game for 4 hours while I corrected the test he failed earlier. When he finally decided to call it quits and go to bed, I was still working on his test. He walks in, still mad at the game and made the comment, "I see you're not doing any better than me!". (Attack on my worth). I showed him that I was almost done, snapping at him. He countered that I had no business talking to him like that. (Another worth attack.). I countered back with, "just because you're mad at the stupid video game you played for the last 4 hours, don't take it out on me." (Attack on his worth). He told me to go F myself and slammed the bedroom door. (Attack on my worth). I finished correcting his test, got a passing grade and told him so. He said that he didn't care. (Another attack.). I came to bed and apologized for snapping at him. He rejected my apology. <br /><br />Since then he hasn't played video games. Nor has he apologized. But he has been a much better husband and making sure I know my worth.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8966990811389811665.post-3391749369084604152012-10-13T07:06:47.117-04:002012-10-13T07:06:47.117-04:00So much truth here.

It is also important to draw out the true identity in our spouse as much as it is possible for us.
