How do you explain to your wife what you wrote on your blog...
No formatting on this one. Just a straight post.
I've been known for getting into trouble with my wife by asking one simple question: "Hey, what's wrong?" Or better yet: "Are You OK?"
Late last week, I asked. And what I got was in to more hot water than I'd care to admit. My wife read my blog.
OK, not a big deal, really, but... "I just get the feeling that you won't talk to me," she said. "Why's that," I asked. (UH Oh!)
Then she told me that she read my blog about the wedding ring and about the recent deaths in the area and she now feels that I communicate better with you, the Internet community, than with her. (If you care to read what I wrote, the titles are "Meth-induced psychosis..." and "A tiny sense of hopelessness.")
To tell you the truth, she may be right. I'm a writer and I can type a whole lot faster and clearer coming out of my head than what comes out of my mouth. We, as a couple, talk a lot about everything. However, I got caught doing something that most husbands do and still get in trouble for --- not saying something to protect the one you are saying it to. Common mistake, but I made it worse by putting it here before I told it to her.
Ouch.
She still feels bad about the ring. No matter the incantations "St. Anthony, St. Anthony...," the complete turning upside down of everything in the house (three times) and searching, the ring is gone.
Now what? Well, I'm still blogging (see...) and I'm still talking to her. So that's something. But just because I'm writing here doesn't mean that I can't share with her what I'm thinking. A lesson learned. (Hi, dear!)
Has anyone else gotten into trouble for blogging or for what they blogged?
