Quote: We did a few errands and then got into an inane fight in the parking lot of Best Buy. I asked him a vague question about what he just bought (my bad), he answered but misunderstanding what I asked, I asked again (still vague?), he answered, I said "ok, ok", he said "I don't understand why you're so irked. LET'S GO HOME."
Looks like a scene out of my life with H.
Quote: It doesn't happen often anymore (we don't seem to fight much) but it was sort of typical -- we get into a mild skirmish, h ASSumes I'm mad, he suggests going home. Normally, I try to argue him out of calling it quits but last night I just said "ok".
I think that to a certain extent, this is kindda normal. We can't always be "on", perfect, have the right thing to say at the right moment, mind-read, etc......we're allowed. The positive is that it doesn't happen as often, right?
Quote: We'll be fine with this -- nothing too out of the ordinary fightwise. I think I've just been having a tough week and I'm ready to break out of that. We're going out of town for the weekend and I think that will help.
Exactly! This HAS been a rough week and I think you have done a remarkable job with your fear, ASSumptions, etc....
