Weekends are a bit slow around here on the MLC board...
People do catch up during the week though...
You have read some books, theories...
Now take some time, maybe one of those Friday nights, to get a bit personal.
The MLC archives are filled with real MLC stories, mostly from the LBS side, which is where you are...
You will learn things that you never imagined...
It will help to make some of the unbelievable, believable...
It will help you make sense out of things that don't...
Was the furniture really the issue, probably not. Did you deciding how to decorate the house make you the world's worst husband? I highly doubt it.
Is it something that didn't make her feel heard or considered? Possibly. Probably.
Could it all have been done differently with a bit of compromise? Probably, almost everything can...
That was something that stung you a bit when she said it. Around here, we say if something stings, we should look at it. See why it stings. See if it is something we need to change.
Hope the rest of your weekend was good.
