The husband dished porridge lunch for Faith and I earlier. Right after his cooking, I went to kitchen to wash my hands before start eating. I then decided to clean up the kitchen before I eat. This made him upset.
The intention of cleaning up is because I have the habit to clean up right after my cooking before eating. So the number of dishes to wash will not be as many as after eating. This made him very unhappy.
Sigh.. I am tired to explain further. I thought our marriage of 9 years will make us understand each other more but I don't see this in many incidents.
I appreciated his effort in cooking and said thanks for the lunch. But where is the thanks for cleaning up?
Sometimes I am tired or pre-occupied and I didn't hear him properly, he gets very upset of me not listening. I will just say sorry when this happened.
Sometimes I am not angry but accidentally sounded loud, he gets very upset. I will just say sorry sometimes ..
Where is the patience and tolerance we should have for each other?
I admit that I don't have good patience. In fact I lose mine easily last time. But the more I facing these, the more I reminded myself to be patient. I keep telling myself this is a training ground that God has planned to train my patience. Hope I don't lose my cool and sanity.
