Over the Shock and GALing 6

[Thinker]

There is a difference between being agreeable on things which are of low consequence:
- "You are right dear, that movie was great!"
- "You are right dear, that friend was horrible to you"

(Note: I used to debate with my W on this sort of thing, and now have stopped)

And of avoiding / facing conflict over things of consequence:
- "Yes Dear, spend whatever you want. No need to tell me"
- "Yes Dear, of course you can take on that volunteer work which takes you away every evening and keeps me from doing anything myself - no need to even ask"

The last 2 examples are, of course, completely facetious, but I did just have a humdinger of an argument with my w about $ and how we prioritize it's use.
