Here is my question: I aired a complaint last Sunday that included a request. Then I aired the same complaint last night, but not the request.
What would a person like myself do...air the complaint, make the request, give it a week, air the complaint, make the same request, rinse and repeat?
I kinda like this idea. My H is a big one for repetition. It truly takes him a lot of repetition to get an idea down pat.
I chided him last night for being able to remember entire conversations from elementary school (even comments his teachers wrote on his papers in high school) but totally unable to remember what we talked about one week ago. Even though it was the exact same thing that we were talking about, right then. So I asked him to do that lame-but-it-works communication tool, whereby you repeat back what the other person just said and, of course, he got all hyperbolic and exaggerative on me: You want me on a white horse and to sweep you off your feet with my unbridled passion.
Anyway, what would the author suggest about when you need to have the convo again?
