Okay...I just posted this with only the title...I'm not sure even how to do that..but I'm NOW editing this.
Sigh...
I'm confessing this....to you....to myself...
I constantly think...."He does NOT listen to me!" (about of course my husband)
but something today made me realize....maybe I'm just expecting him to KNOW what I KNOW.....
Ya know?! :)
I knew we were on a deadline for something - I figured he knew it as well. I was rushing around like a crazy woman at lunch time - and he was in SLLLLOOOOOWWWW MO!
It was quite frankly making me crazy-er!
Finally I gave up in tears and he stopped me at the car as I was "LEAVING!!" and asked "why are you SO upset?" I sobbed the entire sentence - "I was TRYING to accomplish something on this FRIDAY - BEFORE the WEEKEND and now it won't get done till MONDAY...blah blah blah"
to which he replied "Why didn't you say so?"
UM......I'll be honest at this point usually I will make some off the cuff comment about "why don't you listen" but I realized....I DIDN'T say anything. He must have just thought I was rushing around for no apparent reason. It's not that he wasn't listening...it's that I wasn't communicating.
Does this happen to anyone else on the planet?
Doesn't it seem that we spend so much together we "assume" that they know what we know?
Ya know?
Have a blessed weekend my friends!!
Much Love
With All my heart~
gotta go appologize to him now (like swallowing dry sand) :)lol

I read this in a book once and got me thinking about the way we women communicate and how men do it differently.
ReplyDeleteA women wile in the middle of baking some bread will ask: " please could you get me that ting in the cupboard to put this in"
Another women will proceed to give her a bowl to put the dough in, man will reply, what do you want me to do????
So you'll have to say:" honey could you give me the bowl that is in the cupboard near the stove, it's on the middle shelf, behind the flour container and I need the medium size one, the one that is light blue."
See how different our brain works LOL
