Leading her emotions without losing yourself
Wanted to share to hold myself accountable. Talking to my wife the other day trying to figure out if our two oldest kids should do aau basketball. Many of the tournaments will likely overlap which would mean we’d have some weekends split up. My wife told me that she didn’t like that idea because she doesn’t like to be away from our kids and she doesn’t trust that I would keep our son safe.
Perfect moment for me to be the lighthouse, but hearing that made me immediately think of all the work I’ve done the last 18 months, how I’m a totally different person than I was then. And it cut me pretty deep. I wasn’t able to keep my composure, didn’t raise my voice but said something back to her like “I’m not sure what else I need to do for you to see the new me.” Well, failed that test.
Then I log into this, and the next module was Leading her emotions without losing yourself. If only I had logged into one day sooner. In all honesty though, I have overall been very good at keeping my calm, it must have been what she said that got me. The fact that she doesn’t trust me with our own son, just got to me.
I wish I had virtual reality to practice these instances, work on being the lighthouse. We don’t argue or fight hardly at all, so when she DOES get upset, so feel like it’s even more important that I then stay calm and cool. Any tips on how to ALWAYS stay that lighthouse?
