Of course the usual Friday night couch sleep drama went on tonight...son(11) was sitting on couch with me. W asked us both to move to another couch so she could go to sleep. I was hoping my son would ask why she needed to sleep on the couch, but he simply moved. I ignored my W and stayed there until I was ready to go to bed. I ended up staying up a bit longer with my son, and my W sat there on Facebook. I sat down on the couch again, and a couple minutes later, my W asked me to move so she could lay down. I told her she could sleep in the bedroom because we were using the living room. She told me that she sleeps on the couch now and I was being tacky. I tucked my son in and went to bed.
I don't get it. What exactly were you trying to prove? Plus......you have more than one couch? Is this couch the one she alsways chooses to sleep on? Sorry, but that just makes you appear like an stubborn a$$. There's nothing attractive there. It's one thing if she's trying to force you to leave the room, but she simply asked you to sit on the other couch so that she could lay down.
THIS^^^ WHAT SANDI SAID. ^^^^^
To me, It's you pretending you have a boundary. Like not letting her use YOUR cereal bowl!!! - but letting her talk to you horribly, AND in front of the kids.
This "couch" thing is minutia.
Metaphor --- When you hunt a squid, it emits ink in order to hide. And sometimes it's hard to see thru the ink and the squid gets away.
See thru it. The couch "battle" you thnk you "won" and how it makes you look is INK.
Get to the squid (if my metaphor fails, here is what I mean)
--- Solve the REAL issues, not quibble and stomp your feet and fall on your sword for something that reeks of weak pettiness. The couch is NOT the issue. And reeking of weakness and pettiness
are the opposites of your goal, I assume.
