Did I mention...no of course I didn't...that my W and I got into a fight / argument on New Years Eve/New Years?
Ayup...
I know I shouldn't have BUT...
She basically went all chick on me. Seriously. It takes two to tango and all that, but in this case unlike my marriage falling apart...I was actually innocent.
I wasn't so innocent in the argument, however.
How or why it started...not so important.
He said/she said.
The chicking out on me.
She wanted me to do something. I didn't. I gave in, and then she got upset. To the point where we weren't rockin in the New Year, instead we fought.
The reason I bring this up...isn't to point out how cool I am.
...which I am by the way. : )
The point is, that during the fight I actually noticed that I was slipping back into old Jack's way of fighting prior to DBing.
Imagine that.
And part of me, didn't want to DB. Because I was THAT pi55ed off.
But I did.
The fight turned into an argument, then talking, and ...well understanding. I was still too geared up to sleep so I went downstairs and killed some zombies.
The next day she had to work a bit and when she got home, things were still a bit tense. She asked if I was still upset I said yes.
I also asked her, if there was anything I did the other night that I should apologize for. She tought long and hard, and said, No, it was actually her fault. I then apologized for the way I reacted.
I then asked her after everything that happened if she had apologized to me.
She said if I would shutup she could. And did so.
When I say DBing is a lifestyle I mean it. I am better for it, and so is my marriage. Boundaries still exist for you, and your spouse.
The old Jack, never would have asked for an apology, he would have let that fester.
Walking...that is cool! I am sorry for the possible moral conflict.
If you go native however, send pictures, ok?
