I never thought of myself as a patient person, but maybe I have been all along. Or, maybe I've just let people walk all over me all of my life.
And to be honest, when I don't want to do something or if I'm trying something new, like skiing or swimming, I AM whiny especially IF H is involved in the activity. Because H pushes and demands. I like to do new things in a suportive environment. H is a great teacher and I do mean that, but he lacks patience.
There are all kinds of things that I wouldn't do that H blames as the cause of his unhappiness, but it was becuase H demanded, DIDN'T ask me..would just say "we're doing this or we're doing that and YOU'RE going. Some of it was stubbornness or laziness, like watching instead of skating with S. NOW I'm more willing to try things not becuase H DEMANDS it, but because I REALLY want to do things as a family.
