Willing to be disturbed...

[ediemarie]

We could dialogue about it - that didn't even come to mind - H hasn't been really receptive to dialoging lately. We actually did *not* have that question on our weekend. Which surprised me. When they taught us the conflict resolution technique in the post sessions there was a question about it that we could have used to try out the technique, but both of us steered clear of it - too tenuous at the time.

To be honest, I think what reads as patience is really conflict avoidance. I'd hate to take credit for being patient when really I'm just avoiding a difficult, awkward and potentially hurtful conversation. But it's getting to the point where I need to step up and address what is bothering me. I don't want to make the situation worse - and my quick temper can lend itself to ugliness...lol.

Thanks Sara!
