Quote: Just a thought... and sorry for my rambling...
For the record, I love your rambling!
I absolutley follow the same principle that the opposite of love is indifference. You certainly can't work up the emotions that it takes to hate if there is no feeling there.
Just this morning I pulled H aside and started to tell him about a conversation my son had with me last night. (My S2 is so open with us, he tells us just about everything that is going on in his life) Anyway- of course, H got sidetracked again at the start of the conversation. I just let him walk away again. A few minutes later, I sat on the couch and said, "I'm going to finish this story now because it is important." He looked surprised; I'm quite sure he didn't remember that I had started that talk! So, I guess I took your advice before I even read it!
I, too, grew up in a small house with a total of 7 people in it. Maybe that is why as my H says, I can "sit and read a book while the house falls down around me." How funny, Betsey. You brought up something that is true to me too; something that I never really put a lot of thought into. My new goal: Limit my daily words to H. Maybe it will work in two ways- 1. He will listen when I talk because I won't be doing it as much. 2. I will leave room for him to talk! Hmmm, I wonder what he has to say????
Thanks for making me think. It's funny how I stick something that I think may be insignificant out there, and you hone right in on it.
