I Was Able To Save My Marriage
If I hadn’t finally noticed how unhappy my husband had become, it could have been the end, but I was able to save my marriage today. I’d been so focused on the things I wanted to do, like taking a cruise this winter, that I wasn’t really hearing him say that he wanted to do some skiing instead. He didn’t want to say anything but was just getting angrier and angrier inside and grouchier with me, and at first I couldn’t figure out why. When he stomped off to work this morning after a few choice words, I finally got it. He didn’t know how to show his feelings any other way but just wanted to be heard. When I called him later in the morning and talked about how we should do what he wanted as vacation for a change, he brightened up considerably and spoke sweetly to me. He offered to pick up something I needed on the way home. As a woman I may think I know what’s best for our family, but sometimes I have to look at how controlling that can feel to my husband.
