Here it is...they suck...the person you love most in the world believes that it grants them license to be disrespectful. I mean, I've been guilty of this in the past, but today I seek to avoid that reactive quality and have learned silence is my friend: kinda.
For example, my girl may say something that strikes me as insensitive, or rude, or just wrong. The younger me would react and allow emotion to dominate my communication. I've learned that when I allowed this to be my MO it failed horribly. Now, I bite my tongue and let the emotion pass so that I don't react and allow my emotions to cloud my discourse.
This however is also perceived as "attitude" and I catch all sorts of shit for waiting for the rational me to speak. Had I reacted I would also catch shit. Damned if you do....
This is why they suck...
Today's world is so very different from the world I was taught about...
A decade late and a dollar short....
If the gaps in intimacy were not so long, I know I could forsake relationships for good...
