Hi, Even sometimes I get into situations like this with my husband. When both husband and wife are tired and stressed out such flimsy situations easily lead to arguments. Children are very demanding and they really test our patience sometimes. Added to that if they do not sleep well during the night we get even more tired. No point in analyzing such situations. It is just a weakness of human nature. Try to analyze the stress level in your house. Try to make changes to your lifestyle. Take a vacation. One point in time I was really stressed. I would also get very upset about issues at home and constantly think about separation, divorce, custody issues etc. I would feel very sad all the time. I took the Art of Living course in Dec 2007 and I regularly practice their signature method the Sudarshan kriya. Over a short period of time I noticed my thought patterns changing in a postive manner. My tolerance increased. People starting telling me that I look more fresh. Both me and my husband are seeing lot of benefits because of the practice. Yoga might also help. You need some method to de-stress and relax. So take charge today. Don't worry many of us have seen the same problems in life. Hope this helps. Thanks, Kavya
Hi Prabha, May be by the time you are reading this mail, you are already settled down. Amen. This kind of things happens when both of you are stressed and tired. Situations becomes worse when you are not feeling well. I think you are working. Try to take day or two off. And, just relax. It will work like a wonder. Cheers Parul
Hi Prabha, As all my other sisters mentioned these kind of misunderstandings happen when both are under stress and happens in most of the households. The incidents that you have mentioned are very light and should not be taken to heart that easily. When you are mad at your husband about something just walk away and do something you like and that may help you to get past whatever he said at a certain time. Don't keep thinking about the things that he says, that may never heal the pain. Why don't you think this way that he may have had a bad day at work or other things going thru his mind when he says certain things in a tone that may be hurtful to you. I would just advice not to express your views at a time when you are angry. You need to cool off before you talk with your husband about how hurtful his tone or language was to you. I hope and pray everything will be OK with you.
