First, Huge hugs to you for noticing what you were doing and acknowledging the need for change and that it isn't his fault. I REALLY love the last line. I pulled my husband aside on Sunday, when I was working on the Esther, and let him know, "honey, you have full authority to call me out when I am not being respectful. Sometimes, I don't know when I do it, and I want to be a better wife to you and not fight." Once he stopped grinning... hahaha... I started really paying attention at what came out of my mouth, and let me tell you... I held back.. A LOT... and it was NOT easy. So, hang in there sister!! I'll be praying for you on your journey of greater respect. <br /><br />Falen<br />www.upwardnotinward.comFalen https://www.blogger.com/profile/00789611611597542916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-101228274541669798.post-75260131681958760552012-10-16T01:31:55.211-04:002012-10-16T01:31:55.211-04:00My hubs takes this kind of brunt moods also I am s...My hubs takes this kind of brunt moods also I am so annoyed lately coming off the steroids is turning me into a raising lunatic I thought getting the shots were bad but now with drawn from them is worst and I treat my hubs shitty 50% of the time so I too am going to take this same challenge.

Then I am down right psychotic, but most times I am mellow...and let's face it...that is something to look forward to.

Now I end up taking a deep breath and repeating that "everything will be ok"...my anger is pretty much under control. <br /><br />You were really honest in this post, and you've highlighted an aspect of yourself you don't like...confronting that isn't easy, and changing is challenging...but I think you'll be ok!
