the silent treatment
Things at home have been quiet. Very, very quiet.
When I get mad, I don’t yell and scream. I don’t argue. I don’t have tantrums and toss things around the house. I totally shut down and keep my mouth closed until the anger subsides.
Many couples try to resolve their differences by talking things out before they go to bed. We’re not one of those couples.
We’re on day four of the “silent treatment” and I’m finally beginning to calm down. Last night I cuddled with him for few minutes while he was asleep. He's not aware that the thaw has begun so he fled the house early this morning.
The thaw begins with a few physical gestures before I let it all go with an apology or in this case a“you’re an asshole, I love you.” I realized that, although I still feel his decision was immature and fiscally irresponsible, it was his decision to make and I need to respect that (but I don’t have to like it).
The bumps in the road make this ride much more interesting. And what a long strange trip it's been - our fifteenth anniversary is on the 16th.
Dan Wheeler's cartoons at The Happy Freaking Ray of Goddamn Sunshine are funny because they're true.
