hey girl, hope you are doing good today. Well, so much for men wanting us to be direct, I hope your H is able to tell you what he wants. Are you reading something? I think it helps to keep our focus, I was skimming "The Proper Care and Feeding of Husbands" awesome book, sometimes I forget what I've learned.
Last sunday we had a bad argument, and even though -speaking the truth- he behaved like an a$$ at some point, I see how I went wrong and how it led to him making me so mad (I angrily asked him--after listing all I do and him telling me 'this is taking hours!',--that is it ok for me to do all the chores and for him to do nothing he made a stupid face and said 'bingo' pointing at me) I wasn't direct, I keep forgetting to just get to the point without explaing why he should help me (sometimes that is needed but not always, learned that from Mars-Venus book) and the fact that he is adhd also makies him a very short attetion span person.
We need to go back to the basics and polish what we've learned long ago, to respect them without expecting them to earn our respect, to encourage them, to value and thank them for what they do, to praise any gesture so in time it encourages them to keep it up and so they feel we do value them.
Serenity now, ish!!!
I hear you about McDonalds, my kids love that place, I make sure I eat a sandwich at home before we go and I bring my bottle of SlimFast while we are there I just can't stomach their burgers... now, the apple pie, well...
