When doug hears the tone in my voice go up, he knows there's something wrong....so his way of fixing it is to fix it...he can't just listen to me, he has to be able to fix something...he always says "don't bitch about it, just fix it"
so now, because of year and years worth of "stop trying to fix it and just listen to me" pressure has gone down the crapper, at some point, i decided to stop trying and go the opposite direction and somewhere down the line, turned into doug...now, i talk to myself and say "well shit, don't just stand there complaining, fix what's needs to be fixed"...so now, i don't complain anymore.. if i see or have a problem and need to vent, i'll skip the vent and just fix the damn problem.
sad.. but true....i'm slowly turning into a man...i'm turning into my husband and he's a man...
and he wonders why i sound more like him everyday....if he would only "let me" be a girl...
