Today was very busy and got off to a
terrible start. I was almost late for work because I couldn’t get Lee’s dog in
the car to take to the vet, finally he got in. Then things just kept getting
worse, traffic, phone never stopped ringing at work, went over my count,
knowing Lee is leaving for 3 more weeks in a few days, etc. I could go on and
on.
I am grouchy I am stressed (when
things don’t run smoothly I get a lil outta sorts). How in the world do I think
or know a sp****** might help relieve some of this pressure I feel? How come he
doesn’t see that I need one? Must I tell him? I don’t want to tell him, I want
him to know. I know I have heard it a million times they are not mind readers,
but can’t you feel my stress by the way I am acting, I am polite but quiet, I
have short answers, not to be rude, I just don’t feel like talking. I am kinda
just by myself, sometimes I need that time and sometimes I need him to know I
need him. Why is it so hard for me to tell him?
I don’t seem to have a difficult time
telling him anything else whether he wants to hear it or not. I am not good at
keeping anything bottled up for very long, and if I do well eventually I just
explode.
Last night we had a conversation, he
said to me, “honey, I can read you like a book”. He gave me many examples of
how well he does read me. But tonight he didn’t read so well! I know he is busy
getting ready for his trip, I know he has much on his mind. I am trying to be
understanding and patient, I don’t even think he realizes how much my patience
has improved in the last seven months. Well, maybe he has, if I were him I
would have noticed!
I love how this lifestyle has brought
us closer together, we talk more, we listen more, we are much more
affectionate, we both feel closer than we ever have before. I just wish I didn’t
have such a hard time expressing this sp****** part to him. I have grown so
much over the last several months maybe as time goes by I will get more
comfortable and be able to ask, or maybe just maybe… he will just know!!!! Yep,
that’s what I am hoping for, I want him to just know!
Here's my humble opinion: he won't know unless you tell him a few times!!
ReplyDeleteExample. Let's say you love hot fudge sundaes. Let's say you really want one every once in a while. Would it be fair to think "why doesn't he just know I want one when he drives my Dairy Queen??" No. But if a few times you say "I've had a long day and I'm dying for a sundae," then after he's bought you one, you thank him, he's going to "get it." He will only take that initiative after you've communicated that need!
See, what Jason's girl says makes so much sense. But I find it so hard to do, I keep hoping he will just notice and take it on himself to do something about it. Hasn't happened yet!
