Only Two
Gregory and I had a long conversation today.
It was good for me, I am not sure how much of it he was able to follow. But my belief is still that I have two choices when things go wrong: 1) Pretend that nothing is wrong or 2) Discuss it with him.
He always chooses the later when offered the choice so I continue to discuss it with him when things go wrong. Most often the steps are too many and he cannot follow the discussion but we try anyway. If it really doesn't matter, I do pretend.
After our conversation today, Gregory said that he felt bad that his problem might mean that I can no longer be away from him to do the things I like to do.
I replied, "You know there are only two times when I feel bad about our 'situation.'
One is when I loose control and get angry or short or impatient or disrespectful and the other is when you feel bad.
We laughed.
