After 3 long years, H is home

(((((Thank you, ACJ and Michelle.)))))

You are not a mind reader, and he certainly shouldn't expect you to be able to pick up on his every whim.

I've even told him this a few times! I know he's not one either. I just can't understand why he doesn't try to remember this. It doesn't change.

My H is also VERY sensitive to perceived criticism and I have had to be very careful about what I say. Actually, it's more HOW I say things than what I say. It's sooooo hard to be conscious of everything you say though.

I KNOW what you mean! When I am trying to get through to H, I have to stop and take a moment along with a deep breath to think about HOW to say what I feel to him without coming off as criticizing. It's doable, but IT IS HARD.

I know you might not want this pointed out right this minute, but your response to his sarcasm was also very sarcastic and it seems to be a vicious cycle.

I know it was. I suppose I could've omitted that part, but ... ....I know that I am not perfect either.

I have no excuse other than to say I lost my cool. Not good, I know. I guess the underlying pressure of trying to always keep it together finally surfaced. Like I said, I've had to hold myself together about 10 times this week already...and it's only Thursday!

Counting the days, hours, minutes til Saturday arrives. My sisters and I are getting together for a spa day! I am SOOOO ready for it!
