It’s all love-love once again in my little household after two days of silence and angst - caused by a breakdown in communication.

The Boy and I rarely argue but he’s pretty moody sometimes - which instantly makes my blood boil - but we tend to seethe silently until one of us breaks the ice. I had decided that it was his turn to do so - even though it caused me a tummy-ache. He approached me with a coffee peace-offering and we were then able to discuss what had set us both off. We apologized, had lots of hugs and then got on with our day - which ended up involving us building a hanging robe.

This marriage stuff can be a bit tricky sometimes. It’s hard for me to keep my anger in check. And fighting scares me. The Boy doesn’t understand why I tend to cry when we argue, but I think it’s because of fear - my family has always been fond of divorce and I find it hard to accept that you can resolve issues, instead of dissolving the relationship. This is why I’ve never had an “one-again-off-again” relationship - my belief was that when it’s over - it’s over.

I felt so much better after we talked though - he’s never really had to worry about another person before, so he forgets that his mood affects mine - and that I can’t read his mind to find out what is bugging him.
