It was just last night when I put my foot down and said to British that no matter how beautiful tomorrow (Saturday) is, we are not leaving the house and going out to a pricey dinner…appetizers or drinks. Let’s just relax at home and make it a day of brainstorming or movie watching..Barnes & Nobles even. Well, I held out for as long as I could. I played basketball this morning at about 7a.m. and we I walked out of the gym at 9a.m….it was just gorgeous!
I worked on my blog for a while and I could see her sort of moping around…like a little puppy dog, hoping to get outside and play her friends.
Have you ever put your foot down about something and still found yourself willingly giving in? indeed that is me today. I have folded and decided..”what the heck? It’s Saturday, its beautiful, I’m hungry let’s enjoy the day!”
At the end of the day it’s all about compromise and making sure everything is balanced in the relationship. No matter if it’s entertainment or more serious…balance is absolutely important!
So…mother nature…here we come!

Actually, I (and my husband and many of our friends) believe that compromise is where both parties choose to lose something. Rather, in the situation you described, what you did was re-choose, choosing a more fun option because it made British happy, and that makes you happy.
