We're Back!

Hey everybody, Jason and I just got back this afternoon form St Simon's Island, Georgia. We attended a marriage retreat provided by the Navy. It was very nice spending time together and learning things that help our relationship grow. One thing we both learned is that we are completely different people, but we now better understand how to work together. Sometimes when I'm upset about something and just want to be left alone Jason will come in and automatically want to "fix" what ever is bothering me....and when I ask him to leave me alone and say I'll talk to him when I'm ready, well he just doesn't accept that as an answer, he needs closure right then and there. He continues to pester me until I talk to him (which only makes me more upset). The thing we have learned on how to deal with situations like this in the future is for me to give him a time limit, like "give me 20 min. to myself and then come back and we can talk". That gives me some time alone and him knowing that he will have closure on the situation relieves stress. I would love to tell you more about our personality types and how we are so different but that is going to have to wait till tomorrow, I'm going to bed...goodnight! Lisa
