Morning, everyone -
I am in a weird place today. My hormones are going crazy, and I am irritable, grouchy, and very touchy. And that frustrates me, because as any of you know that hang around me, controlling my emotional expression is my bugbear (isn't that a funny word? ) right now. And I sure as heck have not been doing a very good job of it these past two weeks.

I know that this is a stressful time, but I still don't feel like that gives me the right to be a shrew to my H. The basics of treating him with kindness, politeness, and respect, even when or interactions aren't going the way I want them to, is so HARD for me right now. He said last night he felt like I was venting, and he listened, and that was it. I am frustrated with myself right now, and while I still haven't slid completely back to where I was, I am still disappointed in me.

One question for you creative DBers out there...my H has been giving me a lot of little gifts - I love it, but could it be possible that this is his love language as well? I had thought he was physical touch and acts of service, but I am not sure.

Maybe I should try the occasional small gift.
I think I am also going to print a few of the KLA threads and read them over.
Hugs to all,
Myrrh

One moment of patience may ward off great disaster. One moment of impatience may ruin a whole life.
