(Maybe my husband was worrying but he was stoic and didn't let on.)<br />My husband and I tackle the worrisome stuff right off the bat when he gets home. I HAVE to get some of it off my chest - my mother's phone call, any updates on son's girlfriend (he is trying to shake her off without a conversation... avoidance?), and a cursory look at where is and what is going on with our daughter. Then, we agree, we are done and move on. This happens everyday. All the stressful gets left behind for the evening. I don't even answer the phone.<br />The truth is the way these stress-relieving conversations usually go down is in the form of humor. I am sure that our good laughs at the expense of my mother have healed me over the years. And, now we are so inured by my daughter's behavior, we can translate some fairly bizarre stuff into laughable moments. No one listening in on our conversations would probably understand the profound feelings that lead us to being able to make light of, for example, another destroyed computer...<br />Anyway, it sounds like you are lucky, as I am, to have found a mate who can manage stress and have a life, too.Kristinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17383541747197866087noreply@blogger.com
