{i love you but i don't like you}
is one of the most revolutionary phrases in my marriage.
admittedly, I am a smidge of a hothead.
i don't like to have to say something disingenuous in order to make someone feel better.
when in the midst of an argument, sometimes i need some more time to be mad
but my spouse needs permission to reduce his attentiveness to the task of trying to "fix it."
"is there anything I can do...?" he asks
{nope, I just need to not like you for a little while longer}
it is genuine.
it is not forever.
it is the best I can do.
How about you?
