This is going to be a rough week for me. I&#8217;ve got eight days to survive tippy-toeing around a husband who, home for a <strong><em>much-needed<\/em><\/strong> rest from driving big rigs on nasty, congested highways rife with ignorant, rude, in-a-hurry 4-wheelers,\u00a0is taking exception to almost every word and phrase I utter. So I&#8217;m taking a vow to remain silent unless asked a direct question. It seems the only way to avoid huge, ugly conflicts. I am hoping that he&#8217;ll mellow out in a few days, but that might be asking too much. As he gets older, he gets less tolerant and more and more testy, and I&#8217;m about the only one he feels &#8216;safe&#8217; to blow off steam around. But I don&#8217;t like it; I find it hard, sometimes, to just shut up until he finally mellows. \u00a0Other than leaving for the week, which is an option I&#8217;m prepared for, silence seems the best plan until and unless things start getting very ugly. It&#8217;s a good thing I&#8217;m good at silence and zen.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1126 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dlkeur.com\/dlkeur-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Conflict_6-5-2016web.jpg\" alt=\"Conflict_6-5-2016web\" width=\"1140\" height=\"1024\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Well, it&#8217;s already apparent.
