It is so hard to wipe the slate clean after a bad episode, isn't it? I thought we were back to normal after we made up last Sunday. But honestly, this week has not been the happy home we usually keep. I saw the ugly side of him for the first time in a long time, I think almost 2 years. It was hard to control myself and just go on like it didn't happen. I think holding my tongue and not telling him when he annoys me does help. It would have been so easy to hold a grudge, but I decided to just let it go. It is more important to get along.

I just called and suggested that since we are visiting my parents for their birthdays this weekend, that we do our usual Saturday night date tonight. That way, no matter what happens tomorrow night, he will not feel that he was deprived of another Saturday night. Kind of like insurance for the weekend.
