Punching Bag

The boss yells at the father. The father yells at the mother. The mother yells at the son. The son yells at the daughter. The daughter kicks the cat.

People always take out their frustration on the ones they love. It's an awful thing to do... We don't dare fight back at the world, but heck, somebody's got to pay for the injustice. So who would just take it with a smile and be 'understanding'... the loved one!

I admit that I've done it before... but I realized I was being a jerk... and I appologised... I now try my best not to do it again...

This morning, LOML decided to use me as a punching bag... she's been doing it since yesterday... in fact, she's been doing it for a long time now...

I don't mind being there for her when she has a problem. But I don't like being yelled at for no reason whatsoever...

So I had a choice, just take it or say something. I decided to say something. I told her that I'll be there for her... but she can't be downright rude to me because she's frustrated with other things.

I had no idea if this was going to end up well... as I've said before, she doesn't like to be told that she's wrong...

And do you know what she did!!!!????

She appologised!!! :D

Either she has finally decided to approach this relationship with an open mind and try her best at making it work, or I really chose the right words.

I'm going to say that the glass is half full... she is trying her best...

Our relationship seems to get better every time we fight!

So, I'm going to try to be even more supportive (I don't know if that's possible but no harm in trying) and she's gonna try not to take out her frustrations on me.

What a way to start the day, eh?
