It was also a bit of a 180 on her part as well, since I was bracing for an argument when she got home, I just assumed she'd be mad about something. Usually she'd be in a bad mood if I asked her to do something she didn't want to do.
On my part, I have a really hard time explaining my feelings. I feel bad asking her to do something if she's going to act unhappy about doing it, so instead of saying that I would rather she have a positive additude, I just said I'd bottle my feelings up again. It's hard to remember the proper ways of expressing yourself when you're moving 5mph on a highway you usually travel 75mph on.
