Don’t: I am going with the kids to X, if you come great, if not I understand.
Do: I am going with the kids to X (then say no more)
On track with that one?
BTW, I just had my first minor heated discussion with W. I was actually livid, I am sure she could tell in my initial tone of voice. I didn’t think I owed her any money for a while and she just told me I owed her 400.00 dollars. It was a miscommunication between us. We have are financial arrangements squared away from here on out but this one time 400.00 really stung. Especially since I was under the impression that I didn’t need to pay it. I know I am always supposed to act happy but this misunderstanding got me steaming! I didn’t yell but she could tell I was mad. I ended our short conversation by agreeing to give her the 400.00 and I said “I understand, that’s fine” in a matter of fact tone. This was one of the only slightly heated conversations we’ve had since our short time being seperated. It was someone minor but still bugs me a lot that it happened.
