Regrets, I've had a few, and when bickering might spell danger to your relationship
Something I bang on about constantly [apologies!] is letting people know TODAY that you're thinking about them, love and care for them. In today's Express newspaper I've written commentary about one nurse's findings of what people regret when they're dying.
They regret most things like not keeping in touch with the people they love. And it sure isn't regrets about wishing they'd had more time in the office! Check-a-look if you want to give you some food for thought.
On the Huffington Post website I've commented on research about couples' arguments and bickering. Oh gawd, do partners bicker over and over - and over - about the same stuff!
TODAY’S TIP: Defo sit down when you're not angry with each other and chat casually about the things that repeatedly come up.
This isn't about having a ‘big’ conversation - it's about good-humoured discussion followed by looking for a couple solutions.
Take personal responsibility – ‘fess up to the ‘worst’ thing you do that causes bickering [e.g. leaving the washing up, being late, etc.] and propose your very own solution.
Think how much easier and calmer life would be if you both did this. I'm counting on you to try it!
Have a lovely Wednesday, Pam x
