Quote from FP1: (( It feels uncomfortable, but it makes me feel good to honor ME! ))
What a lovely weekend, and how wonderful that you now can say what you feel for you, and allow him to do what he is happy doing.
Using each others foibles, ways and ideas as a battleground to decide who is "right" and who is "wrong", leads to anger and nothing decided.
Appreciating differences, working with those differences, compromising sometimes, and taking turns to lead the way, can really make changes in areas of previous conflict.
Don't worry about the strangeness of asserting who you are and what you want, it can be uncomfortable if it is something new, and like new shoes take time to be worn in.
I am not a fan of compromise, as it usually means both are disappointed and neither gets what they want.
I hope you and your hubby, manage some more of these pleasant times together.
God bless
