Keeping your word
By: MommyOfWho? | 25-07-2008
If your other half kept telling you (without any influence, whatsoever) he would do something for the sake of both of you and didn't keep his word, how would that make you feel?   Is there any way TO get him to keep his word to you???

What to do... What to say???
By: MommyOfWho? | 25-07-2008
How do you get your other half to see or understand that you don't feel they treat you the same way you treat them...   Example:  They are sick or hurt, and you do everything you can to make sure they are comfortable.  But when you are hurt, they yell at you and won't help you.  How do you explain this?   My knee went out on me and it is difficult to do anything on crutches.  Last night when he came home from work I asked for some food... and he tells me he has things he has to do and I have to wait.  He then takes off from the house and comes back an hour and a half later and still wouldn't help me.  Now... there are times that he is down and out... and has really hurt me...but knowing he is down and out I was more than willing to take care of him.  He asks for specific things and I'll run out to the store for whatever, MAKING A POINT of making sure he has something to drink, the remote...whatever... to make sure he doesn't need anything while I'm gone.
