DON'T FORGIVE AND DON'T FORGET
EITHER.
Whether the issue is large
or small, file it in your hurt-memory
compartment so you can haul it out anytime
it's needed, like during a discussion that you
want to turn into a huge argument. Make
your personal motto "it's better to be right
than happy".
EXPECT YOUR MARRIAGE PARTNER
TO MAKE YOU HAPPY.
Refuse to
accept that each human being is
ultimately responsible for his/her own
happiness. Some even go so far as to say you
will be about as happy as you decide to be. If
you are unhappy, lay the fault directly on your
mate and don't forget to tell him what a huge
disappointment he is as a husband, in case he
doesn't already have that message from you.
DON'T SHOW ENTHUSIASM.
About
anything. That includes your
partner's suggestions for dinner out,
vacation destinations, seeing a movie or going
to the beach. Use phrases like "I don't care".
When he/she makes the decision, pout if your
mate's mind reading wasn't successful. That
way no one will have any fun. And those pesky
suggestions will definitely taper off.
