Let's make it a good one! Or if it can't be a good one, let's make it a sober one!
Hubby came to bed smelling like booze last night, and although I found it a bit unpleasant, I tried a new way of thinking. Instead of getting pissed off or nagging him, I tried to just distance myself from it as an emotional trigger. I even kissed him, smelled and tasted the rum, and just told myself, "that's him. Not me. Glad it's not me!" It was more tolerable than when I start seething, turn my back to him and think about how thoughtless he's being! This time, I remembered that he is just who he is...it's not about me. I'm free from it now. I don't know how often I can be that tolerant, but it worked last night anyway.
I've got a busy day ahead and have to work tonight, but one thing's for sure...
