Do what I can but still have questions 4

So even after my little bit of a mess up this morning, I must have done enough things right. H just called me out of the blue (he NEVER calls me during the day) to ask me about S13, who had a doctor's appt this afternoon.

Sometimes I wonder if our M is like tug-of-war. We just keep pulling in our own directions and no one wins. The key to winning is loosening your pull slightly and throwing the other person off balance and then yanking really hard to pull the rope in your direction. That is what happens every time I DB for a while, then I let him have it how I really feel in an arguement and he ends up doing what I want. Isn't that strange?

The call went perfectly. I was pleasant and happy, didn't pursue, and exited the conversation first. All 180's for me. I guarantee he is wondering what the h___ is going on. I could almost laugh about it.
