You know I find that I continually fall into the trap where I defend his actions at times too...now ain't that bizarre. It's almost like I make excuses to myself for not being completely open about how I'm feeling or...whatever, because I don't want to hurt him.
I'm getting over that now LOL. The fact is, if I tiptoe around issues, or sugar coat things to spare his feelings...he doesn't get it, I'm not communicating clearly for him. That doesn't do anyone any good...I'm finally getting that myself.
It's an interesting dynamic though isn't it. If we didn't love these guys we could easily lay things on the line...be bluntly open/honest and not give a flip how they reacted...but the fact is, we do love em. So at times we have our own bizarre (for lack of a better word) behavior at times too
GEL - (aka) Lassie (woof!) LOL Hey...she was a red head too..any connection...God I hope not.
