My wife asked me to come visit her family, and I agreed, but then my wife said a few weeks ago, that it didn't matter, that Idid not go, so I let it drop.
Then today, my wife starts acting hnurt that I am not going withher over Labor day to visit her relatives. So I thought of this thread. I reserved a hotel and planned toask for time off from work, when I go in today.
I can cancel the hotel reservations, up to 6 PM that day. I just decided not to figth it. Ther are things I can do in thier city, that weekend, like sleep in the hotel. I can put in an appearance, and that is all that is really necessary.
I plan to also use the point as a negotiation tool, thagt if she asks for something over the next two week,s I will remind her of my extending the compromise of going with her to visit her family.
Means Good, you do not give an in-depth explanation of the Respct issues for your Husband. Women from Venus do not naturally understand the conecpts of respect in Mars. Religion, Football Tems, Politics job types, all play roles in respect. Your assertion that your family is respectful to your husband would take a lot more analysis than you have presented here.
Phrases to excuse your husband, to your family, "He is behind at work" "He has some special projects he is working on" "He was brning the midnight oil on some projects, and really needs this time to just catch up on his sleep." "I enjoy being able to visit my family, without feeling I am neglecting to show interst in my Husband" "When I return home, I will have to make up for having neglected my husband's interests for this time."
