-I usually am so busy trying to "make it happen" or "understand his POV" that it isn't until later I can see how completely nuts it is and find the humor.
(I had been busy trying to figure out how I could juggle things around so it COULD happen) that, um, yeah--it's freaking hysterical!!
I totally relate to this. I let my H bully me because i'm so busy "understanding his pov and making it happen". No. This is the wrong response. ARe they understanding our pov? Are they making what we want to happen? No.
We must find the strength to say NO. To stop listening. It's the hardest in the world when you're being verbally assaulted at top volume. I got one on Monday too! But hang in there, you did great using your script.
The detachment will be helped with laughter if you can do this. Just imagine those counselors standing next to you when H goes off. Imagine them laughing and see it from their perspective.
But take a look at alternatives to "Seeing his pov and making it happen." Find a 180 on that. I'm with you on this one~!
