My most recent conflict...
The most recent conflict I had was with my husband. He loves to rent movies but when it's time to watch them, within fifteen minutes of the movie, he falls asleep. Just recently, he came home with two movies he just rented. Before he even put the movies in, I told him he was going to fall asleep. He argued with me claiming that he was not even tired and he wanted to see these movies. Sure enough, ten minutes into the movie, he was fast asleep. I was so upset. Not that he actually fell asleep, I knew he was going to do that, but the fact that he can never admit when he is tired. He actually fought with me for at least twenty minutes, after I woke him up the first time, claiming that he was not sleepy, and then, still fell asleep. I even attempted to change my choice of words in efforts to meet at some common ground, but that failed as well. I attempted to change my tone of voice, to show that I am not as angry as I appeared to be, but he still argued with me. At that point. I just gave up and let him sleep and I enjoyed both movies by myself. I did, however, refuse to give him any information about the movies, so now he is upset because he has to rent them all over again and watch them by himself.

Hi Nicole,
ReplyDeleteHaha! I love it! :) I always get on my husband when he cooks because he uses every pot and dish in the kitchen even if he is only making spaghetti. And then when he does do dishes, he never washes the pots, pans or baking sheets! What the heck? I guess he thinks it is my job. But I guess it is kind of my fault for doing them and not saying anything. The last time he made cupcakes, I deliberately left his bowls and pans on the counter and they sat there for 3 days until I broke down and did them! My problem is always that I don't communicate my frustration. If I did, maybe he would try harder. Thanks for sharing, Nicole.
