I have noticed that the longer that I am on my own again, the more I want to stand up for myself. For half a decade i allowed myself to be walked on, and I find that now I want to pendulum swing in the other direction. For example last night I was listening to Harry Potter 4 audiobook and there was a situation where Harry was being treated more than unfairly. I found myself wanting to react to stand up and get in the face of the oppressor.
I am having to relearn the fine line between sucking it up and taking it, to fight back no holds barred.
Will have to think about this more later.

Rule #1: your wife is not to be the oppressor ;) She's to be there for you to to fight against it with ya, on her own terms.
ReplyDeletePS, I don't know how to do this either! But I've had some fun thoughts on pride vs. aggression vs. sentimentality vs. truth lately.
