Gordie #20: patiently living my life

[Gordie]

Gerda

Enjoyed the song and was surprised that is what you listen to which was extra special to get to know you better

Journaling

W has been picking more fights with me usually on issues where I have a clear conscience so just listen and defuse

This is a 180 for me from when I would spin and defend myself and try to point out the flaws in her attack

It still hurts that she feels I am the source of her unhappiness but whereas it used to be 100 percent my fault at least now she acknowledges other factors

Another good thing is this allows her to vent and then she too releases her anger and recovers instead of giving me the silent treatment or staying angry for days

Shake it off and keep moving forward
