Tomorrow is a New Day

This pattern sounds awfully familiar.

Read between the lines: he is stressed about $.

I think he's also thinking that you're going to do whatever you want and you don't take his opinions into consideration. Not that you do or don't, it's just my hunch that he's feeling defensive and also inadequate that you can't have the new dryer.

I know my first instinct would be to bulldog right into H's face and say, "Fine, you don't care? I'm doing whatever I want." He DOES care, he just does not want to engage in an argument.

Obviously something really ticked him off... clearly he does not want to burn the house down.

I'm sorry your night went like this Hopeful. It's so frustrating when they wig out on you and you can't rely on them coming back to earth. Congrats on your new exercise program though!

Would love to hear your coach's take on all of this. How do you handle an emotional, irrational man like this?
