Yes. Timing is crucial. H and I have had a fairly good relationship and I have just started dropping them now.
A few of my favourites?
"When D leaves for college, this house is going to be too big for just me." -that one had him saying we'd hire yard help and a cleaner....
" As a person in my profession, I could work anywhere."
^^^ Like.
W and I are hosting my family for TG dinner and have spent much time this past weekend working together on preparations. As such, I really wanted to toss a few of those reality darts, but decided it would be poor timing because I know she is overwhelmed with the task at hand, and would not be at all receptive. This is what I mean by timing. You BOTH need to be in a good place when reality darting. Never do it when you are feeling needy or upset. It likely won't end well.
M: A really long time. Crisis: 5 years. She's still worth it.
Life is never made unbearable by circumstances, but only by lack of meaning and purpose. -Viktor Frankl
