How do you communicate with your hubby when you're scared that he's gonna get mad at you?? I flipped out earlier today because I thought the hubby would get mad if I told the truth and turns out he didn't get mad. My friend helped me communicate to him and all is fine now. I also have a hard time speaking my needs for example I ususally end with Friday's off because my little one goes to a friends house to spend the night on Fridays....well starting tomorrow he's gonna send the step daughter home on the bus and force quality time on me when it's a pain taking care of her because she never listens to me and always mouths off....so it bothers me. It's kinda like she secretly hates me subconsiously because I am not her real mother or some such rot. Well it's totally uncomfortable on both ends....anyhow I forced myself to talk to him about the fact that he's gonna force contact between us....and he said if it makes you feel any better to miss your friday nights despite that those nights I get paranoid the most alone then he will have his mom pick her up at like 6:30 every friday night and I will have the rest of the night to myself. I have a hard time talking to people when scared and it's something really important and I just wonder How do the people that have an easy time communicating communicate?? What's your secrets??
