Forward, slow as she goes

[BeingMe]

It's strange, but in my home country, I had charge of the finances. It changed when we immigrated ... can't remember why. But, I used to always keep him apprised of our financial situation. And, he was happy with it. In fact, he was a lot happier then then he is now. We had some happy years after immigration, but the past 10 years has been up and down. We've been here for 16 years. They say that immigration is very hard on M. A high % of immigrants get D'ed.

He usually leaves when there is an argument brewing, or just shuts down. There have been very few times when he has actually responded angrily, just the roll-your-eyes kind of responses, you know, "she's on the crazy path again." That has been one of my 180's ... to not respond when I'm hurt or upset, but to wait until I can either do so calmly or not at all. He's very much a passive-aggressive personality.

Oh well, as you say, slow but sure wins the race, whatever race that might be. LOL I'm not sure anymore if I'm racing the same race I started on.
