Growth

tealSky5094 March 14th, 2021

My husband and I are in the midst of building a house. He’s a very decisive person and assertive. Although I know what I don’t like I sometimes have trouble knowing what I do. In a couple house building items I have just given up trying to explain my viewpoint because he just will not compromise and says he can’t see it. He is into contemporary and modern and calls my style country. Enough background. We were in a store yesterday ordering lumber and windows. He says that some of the comments i made seemed rude and that I acted disinterested. He said that he felt like I was throwing a temper tantrum. I don’t feel like i acted that way at all and didn’t realize that the person who was helping us thought that. I apologized to my husband and explained my side and I honestly did not realize that I was perceived that way. But I am still hurt by some of his comments and struggling to grow from this conflict. If you need more information to help give me advice then just ask :) thx

Hi dear @tealSky5094, I feel you. Those minor misunderstandings can harm a relationship in the long run. I believe you guys need to talk things out. Go for dinner, just the two of you, in peace, explain how you are feeling. Try to show him your side and try to understand his as well. I’m sure everything will be fine. Much love 💕

Thanks for the gem of advice! We went for a walk instead and enjoyed some quality time together. Talking about the houses we saw and found some compromises. I appreciated your comment and the support.
