Breathing Room

Not exactly Watergate

I just got through reading my girl Nada'a blog and I have no idea how to paste it here properly, (I could look it up but then I would lose my train of thought) anyway she was talking about wishing she could have taped past discussions with her hubby...

at the moment I am nodding my head (in semi-shame, but mainly amusement). The sad thing here is that "yes" I must admit that Dave and I have taped conversations, actually arguments that we've had and believe me it was NEVER helpful. That could possibly be because we are two extremely volatile people at times and unfortunately when one of us gets escalated the other usually responds in the same manner which helps no one, especially not the neighbors

We used to get into arguments about what the other actually said and either he wouldn't believe me when I told him I said something or vice versa. Here enters the tape recorder.

This just goes to show you never know whats happening in another person's relationship. We are definitely NOT the ideal relationship -whatever that is.

I've found that the tape recorder (at least in my relationship) only leads to other issues and well its just not worth it.
