He has been volunteering once a week at a daycare for homeless kids.
wow. that is awesome. and awesome about his involvement with the kids too.
Did you happen to apologize to your H about the escalated discussion? I know it IS really difficult to not open our mouths when we want to. I think part of that is us women don't like to wait for answers. Most of our men procrastinate, or avoid topics as those, so we want to get things done asap. Plus, our lives are so chaotic that we want to talk about things when we think about them....we might forget later. I think part of changing is starting a new habit. So whenever you think of something you want to talk to H about, just stop, and say, will talking about this now get me a good answer or good discussion, or could it be better if brought up at another time? Then right the problem down as a task that needs to be done later. or perhaps just tell your H that you would like to discuss something and when would he like to do it.
But you need to start forming a NEW habit. I have the same problem, and I'm still working on it too, but I'm doing better.
