I just got a text from my wife that says we need to talk about Christmas.
Text her back:
W:"We need to talk about Xmas" H:"I agree. I think it is best we get exchange times nailed down so there is no confusion".
Or something similar. See how I agree with the We need to talk. Then I say what I think is best. Then I say I want to reduce confusion.
Always go in with the mind set of getting agreements, clarification or reducing confusion.
What is YOUR goal for the conversation. YOU lead the direction.
I LIKE THIS!
See the beauty in this Scott? You don't get to choose whether or not you do a joint Christmas. Why? Because she doesn't have to if she doesn't want to and you cannot make her. BUT, you do get to decide that YOU don't want to do a joint Christmas.
"I've decided it would be in everyone's best interest to do Christmas separately. I suggest we nail down exchange times so there is no confusion."
She might hate you for it.....but she will respect you!
