It's Tuesday and you just had an awful day at work. Flat tire on the way home, check engine light is on. You walk in the house and your wife is already mad about something, who knows what. Your phone dings.... overdraft..... again.... 3rd time in two months. You feel your chest get hot, you start to throw your things down a little harder than usual. She walks by and has the audacity to ask you why you were home SO late.... Fight starts in 3.... 2.....
If you are married I know you know what I am talking about. You've been there time and time again. Every time it's a 3 hour yelling match with at least a 3 day silent treatment and NO progress.
Next time... when you start to throw your keys down, or your chest gets tight.... Stop. Step Back. Head Up. Deep Breath. DETACH.....
