Robbie and I had an argument on Friday night about my not calling to check in with her prior to playing racquetball. I thought we resolved it but she brought it up again last night and I got mad and then she got mad that I was mad and we went to sleep mad, without resolving it.
She told someone recently that a rule of thumb for a good marriage is to not go to bed mad. We’ve generally adhered to this but it’s not been ironclad and last night was a good example. It’s often better for me to finish an argument in the morning, because I’m usually more cranky at night when I’m tired. She prefers to hash it out at night so she sleeps better.
So we’ll see what happens this morning. It might be good for us to go for a walk and talk it out, since it’s so gorgeous out. Talking while we walk has a tendency to put us in a different frame of mind.
