    When I was younger I allowed myself to play this out with my husband (then boyfriend.) I would hope that he would do something with or for me but he would make other plans and I would say “OK” even though I wasn’t OK. I would stay mad for days. I would hide in the bedroom and not talk to him. The poor guy had no idea what was going on. One day I just woke up and decided, “Why am I making MYSELF misreable?” I made a promise to myself and to him to always be honest about what I feel. We now make compromises and set priorities. If I want to sit at home and watch a movie but he has tickets to a Titans game I let him go but he makes up for it and recognizes my disappointments. I have stopped getting upset over petty things and so has he. I now believe that we communicate better than most couples. We may not always be happy to hear what the other is thinking, or agree with how they feel but we can’t work things out if we don’t know the whole truth.
