Absolutely.
Look...
everyone needs a little slack, or give, in a relationship. We all need a little time, once in awhile, to go blow off some steam. Mrs. O'Rights gives me a lot of rope. I mean a
lot of rope. I remeber one time, a few years ago, when I mentioned, in passing, that a bunch of the guys from work were meeting up at a local strip club. Although I had no intention of going that night, she basically handed me my hat and threw me out the door. Why? Because, not only did she recognize the need for me to go blow off steam, she also needed to get me out from under foot for awhile. And...(here's the important part) she
trusts me. She trusts that I "know my way home", she trusts that I'm not going to try to
come home if I've had a little
too much, and she trusts me to call if I'm going to be late, or
can't come home.
Ok...I'll be honest here. I'm bad, and I mean
very bad about calling home. I know this. And
she knows this. It doesn't mean that I'm out getting a little on the side. It just means that I'm bad about calling home if I'm going to be late. Although she does get aggravated...and believe me she
does get aggravated (and rightfully so)...she still
trusts me.
I guess what I'm
trying to say is...let up a little. Let him breathe a little. And, while you're at it, take a nice deep breath yourself. It's cleansing.
