Great Idea for a thread...listing our 180s and the shocking ones that get our WASs jaws dropping
As for me...I've tried my best to do the basic 180s ( for me )...listening, validating, being upbeat and pleasant etc
Others include throwing my first party solo at our house for my Bday ( H then asked if I wanted him there...I dropped the rope and said it was up to him...so no begging or pleading ). I guess a 180 I did was a 180 b/c I just ended my pregnancy and climbed into some hot sexy party clothes to go out ( wore heels...which I didn't do that much even before the pregnancy and showed cleavage....that got H all nervous when he saw me dressed up like that ). Then H TRIED to ruin my night by calling me to come home b/c the baby was crying...I did ( saw H had made alternate plans now to go out b/c he thought I'd end up STAYING home....I said " No, going back out...promised my friends I'd be back..and left " H was pouting, said FINE. I came home a litle later than I said I would ( H was sitting all dressed up waiting for me to return and then he went out...). So it was a 180 for me b/c I stood my ground and went back out.
So I've gotten out when I can ( difficult with a newborn )..But I need more ideas that fit into my lifestyle now ( first time mother with 1 month old baby ). I read everyone's great 180s...like rock climbing, dancing, golf lessons....and I feel limited not only b/c of the baby but b/c I'm here in Taiwan and don't have a lot of those fun recreational activities available to me...not even mom and baby classes to sign up ( and no family here to watch the baby so I can go do those things or anything outdoors or fun ). I'll be back in Canada in a month so I'll have more options, but I'll be an ocean away from H where he won't see me do those things anyways. I need some ideas what I can do for the next month while I'm still around him...I want to have a little fun playing this 'game' with him...to get him thinking.
