I'm with OT. I say it's high time you two invested in some body-sized red towels. You are missing out my friend, REALLY missing out. Maybe she's not in the mood on the first day or two of her cycle, but that probably is not the case for her entire cycle. Oh, and not only is ML good for cramps, it's also good for fighting a cold--it really does boost the immune system.
Quote: We've had our ups and downs, little spats here and there, but the thing that I like is that those spats don't linger anymore. It used to be that once one of us got in a mood, or when we had any kind of conflict, it would carry over for hours, sometimes a day or more. Now, we seem to get it out and move on.
I like to think that's mainly due to me being able to let it go.
I think you hit the nail on the head. Yesterday my H and I got into a stupid argument that in the past could easily have carried over to the next day. Instead he apologized for yelling and I apologized for pushing him to do something he didn't want to do. So with us both learning to let go and not be right or wrong we ended up having a nice evening together.
I think this goes hand in hand with letting go of certain expectations and being OK when things don't go exactly according to plan.
