Day 5 - Love is Not Rude

Dare:
Ask your spouse to tell you three things that cause him or her to be uncomfortable or irritated with you.

Wow. When I saw the title of today's dare I thought, I'm not rude. Then I read the devotion and, boy, I'm in trouble. Especially with the dare. According to the devotion, women usually have better manners, but they are rude in other ways. For example, we can be quarrelsome or pouting. Anything that makes us unpleasant to be around is rude. I think I already know what one of David's answers will be. Hey, but the dare doesn't say I have to change anything based on what he tells me, does it?

Results:
Well, I asked him and it wasn't as bad as I thought it might. Iwas right on what I thought he would say on one. I will stay true to the dare and just tell you what David said and not defend myself here either.

So, David picked me up from a meeting I had in the Hemet office. I asked him to tell me three things about me or my behavior that bothers him. Here's what he said:

1. I tell him how to drive - yes, I do that
2. When I stay up late and then complain about being tired the next day - yes, guilty
3. oh, oh, can't remember - or did I just block it out? I asked David again. I apparently expect things from David. His example was that if he makes himself something to eat, I expect him to make me something too - hmmm, interesting

Anyway, these are things I obviously need to work on, and I will do my best.

It is really tough to just sit there and listen to what I do without giving justifications for my behavior, but I did just sit there and listen.

Are these going to get tougher? We'll see.
