Taking Turns
My husband and I bicker - we are GREAT at it! But it gets on my nerves and his nerves too.
I happened to be out with a friend of mine before Christmas, having coffee, and I was griping about how we bicker, how much it drives me nuts, and how I have no idea what to do.
When I was talking to her I realized that hubs (we need a new name for him - oh I know!) Mr. Observant and I ALWAYS have to have the last word. We love having the last word. So you can imagine how a minor disagreements can turn into big fights with hurt feelings.
Jokingly my friend said “why don’t you guys jut take turns on who gets the last word?”
We laughed.
But….
Is it actually a great idea?
Well, it is for us! He gets Monday, Wednesday, and Friday - I get Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. Sunday is a free day. Wow, it really works for us. The person who does NOT have the last word just drops it. So the minor disagreement ends. That’s not true - it NEVER becomes a disagreement! And because of this things are jut better overall between us.
Try it! Tell me how it works for you!
