Comments on: The Time is Now. http://www.weekendkindness.net/2007/09/06/the-time-is-now/ Reaching Others Through Kindness Tue, 10 Jan 2012 18:48:57 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Revka http://www.weekendkindness.net/2007/09/06/the-time-is-now/comment-page-1/#comment-3872 Revka Fri, 07 Sep 2007 16:49:29 +0000 http://www.weekendkindness.net/2007/09/06/the-time-is-now/#comment-3872 Thanks for this, Jess. I struggle with sharing my true feelings with my husband, thinking that I can rationalize away my feelings of anger or frustration and the like. Instead, they just get stuffed down only to resurface months or, in a couple of instances, years down the road. I am working on this and am finding that sharing my feelings, despite my worries about hurting my husband, actually help clear the air because once my feelings are in the open, we can work together to resolve the situation. I still have quite a way to go, but my instinct to elude confrontation at almost any cost is slowly being replaced with the willingness to make myself vulnerable in order to strengthen our relationship.
