We are just as screwed as we were before. I lovvvvve my husband to bits. I am there through every stupid decision we make. And we've made a ton of them. We bought our forever home last year, and it was basically falling apart. It needed every serious repair that you could probably list on a home inspection. Luckily, Hubby is pretty handy, and we avoided any huge repair costs. But that doesn't necessarily mean that we avoided any tension. Tension is like our little third spouse.
Thats really to be expected when you buy a home like ours. When you mix a seriously old home, no closets, powertools at every corner, 2 rottweilers, you probably won't have the happiest of wives in the mix. But we'll get through it. I feel like I just need to train myself to just have a little more patience, and just keep calm. I feel like at our age, this probably shouldn't be where we should be financially, mentally, or emotionally, but this is where we are. So I guess we should do something to fix it.
I'd love if someone could recommend a few books as to handle heated conversations, because I come by it honestly, I'm not exactly one to sit calmly and resolve an issue in an hour. It usually involves a heated debate, a cool down day or 2, followed by acting like nothing ever happened and everythings just peachy.
Productive, eh?
After a few more than tense days, I realized that we need to do SOMETHING. ANYTHING to change this circle of frustration that we end up in every few weeks. Where nothing changes, we fight about the same things, and nothing gets resolved.
Sooooooo lets try the love dare, shall we? :)
Day 1:
I tell ya. This is not going to be an easy 40 days. But I will do it.
Looking forward to updating you tomorrow.
Wish me luck!
