Communication 101

I now know that I know less than I ever knew.
Doesn't that suck . . . :o)

At least I have a man who is willing to wait for me to learn.
Through events none to pleasant, I have been humbled into realization that I do not know how to address conflict with men in a respectful manner. I know how to address conflict with women in a loving manner, and even men in a loving manner. But this whole respecting thing is hard to do.

If I point out a flaw, I have to be careful not to attack. Women are aloud to point out flaws to each other lovingly as accountability. Men, I am learning, do that much less, and with many more restriction due to honor and respect. Flurbisjdhf;kjdhsf;! It's so hard.

And so I find myself, amidst a wonderful relationship, doing extremely hard work to unlearn everything I have ever known, and to learn new skills to communicate respectfully with the man I greatly admire and adore. Like I said, it's so hard!!
