Sassy Boots

Blah

6.15.2009 • in the evening

I’m feeling really out of sorts today, I can’t concentrate on anything and I’m not feeling like myself at all...my brain is foggy and I can’t focus.

I hate when JR and I have a “spat"… it just throws me into a funk, we don’t have them often but when we do it sucks. We don’t fight we just have disagreements like any other couple does, he usually wants to make up before I’m ready and he can let stuff go easily but me? no, I don’t get over stuff for a while and I just want to be left alone.
I get real quiet and need time to be pissy and sulk or whatever it may be.

It’s not the silent treatment, I just don’t like to talk to him when I’m mad or had my feelings hurt, I have a pretty sharp tongue and I don’t want to go there with him. I don’t want to say something in anger and regret it later.
I’ve never gone there with him because our relationship is different than any I’ve been in before, but I do feel the need to be defensive...old habits are hard to break.

Anyway...just had to vent...or something.

I read somewhere once that all “discussions” should be done in the nude. It is kind of hard to not end up laughing that way.

Hope you feel better.

You SO did not read that anywhere Misty...you just like to do everything nekkid!

I don’t think you have anything to worry about - I think that’s pretty normal!! Taking time away to think about things and let go of your anger, is in my opinion, the best way to go about having discussions!!

It certainly beats the alternative of yelling, screaming and saying things you will regret!

I wish I could learn to shut the hell up and not say things I later regret. You keep doing what you’re doing. It’s a much better policy. And then show me how to do it, too!

I like to get all disagreements done and over. Quickly. He says something I don’t like, and I childishly give him the middle finger when he turns his back. I feel great doing it, he doesn’t always catch it, and when he does, it’s always so embarrassing and stupid, that we both end up laughing.

I know exactly what you mean about the sharp tongue. I’ve done that in the past and I’m determined not to repeat that mistake. If I’m as lucky as you were to find such a great guy.
