SO last night I was unbraiding my husband’s hair and he was just sitting there on the computer with the earphones listening to the latest in movie previews. I am not interested AT ALL in movies because they freak me out. I am a trance DIVA so I feel like I am IN the movie or that the movie is happening to ME! So I steer clear of movies. (I recall watching the matrix and then thinking that the special agents were going to come and get me! I know, crazy. But whatever).
Now mind you, my husband and I are like OOOBER busy, so I thought that by taking his hair out, we could spend some time talking to one another and to the kids. SO I dreamed up this huge fairy tale in my mind about me taking his braids out as he reads books to the kids who hardly ever see us with our travel and work schedules.
NOT!
As the reality unfolded I realized that my husband did not have concept or clue about my wishes and desires. And so when I asked him to read the kids a story as I did his hair, he said, flat out, and blatantly NO. WHAT? NO? Well why the hell not? I was about to have a fit when I recalled what was happening – again – and decided to become awake in the moment!
Now I was really mad – HELL YES! But did I have to follow the anger emotion and let it wreck havoc in my relationship? HELL NO. Did I have to disrespect him in front of the children and question him, or badger him until he complied? Well, not this time….
Here are the three steps to resolving the incessant need to have it YOOUUUURRRR WWAAAYYYYY!
