Lest you think the sailing is always smooth...my H and I got into one heck of a downwardly spiraling conversation just after I wrote that last post! The good news is that we are able to recover quicker from these, and I seem to be able to put forth my points in ways that are easier for my H to understand and accept. Also, (just realizing this as I write) I've more gracefully accepted that this guy just ain't going to on initiate anything that resembles "talking" !
