Hello Pavlina people,
I have a scenario you may or may not be able to relate too. If you can help, I will be indebted to you.
I shy away from telling her straight when something has gone wrong, then she finds out and promptly goes nuts...
Last night, she had an argument with mother-in-law and sister about organising her Dad's 60th at the weekend, so I tried to console her rant with suggestions and agreement, which then led to me when we got home... as we had some things to do, she asked me to water her plants, which she showed me how to do certain one's as they overflow if overfilled, ala i did just that !
Before all this, she explicitly said, "Alex, can you Not ***k up please!"
as she was explaining to me how everybody had ***ked up beforehand about organising food for her Dad's 60th.
This then created an atmosphere like no other, telling me to **** off, your a **** etc etc...
until this morning where she asked me to hug her, so i did for 15 before heading to work.
As you can probably tell, this is not the first time I have proverbially **** up!
Am wondering how I can put it ALL right, without just being honest upfront about potential **** ups. She said that would make a massive difference.
Being direct and honest is key I think.
Any advice in how to act in these situations will be greatly appreciated.
Alex
