subject: Respect In Our Relationship [print this page] Even in a Happy Marriage Even in a Happy Marriage
I really love my husband. I respect him. I am proud of him. I am proud to be in a relationship with him. So where does the evil little bitch that I can be come from? Is it from my past? Is it hormones? Is it morning blues? YUK!!!!
Heres what happened this morning. I got up earlier than usual which for some reason brought me to my computer. Thats always a mistake first thing in the morning. I get pulled into work so now on top of the usual duties Ive assigned myself in the morning putting dishes away, making the Martians lunch, making his breakfast. By going to my computer, I now subconsciously have taken on my career duties as well.
So the Martian, who had gotten up before me and was relaxing with a cup of tea on the couch started sharing stuff from work with me. He teaches high school science and physics. He asked me a couple of times if I was listening and I said yes although truthfully his talking and relaxing was beginning to annoy me because I was working, stressed, blah, blah, blah you got it -
Now why would I think that working at 4:30 in the morning is more important than connecting with my husband and hearing a beautiful story about one of his students. It was so moving to him, he was choked up with feeling and I was WORKING!
Oy! Well, fortunately I saw my stuff quickly, apologized and HOPEFULLY learned something.
