One of my goals for 2013 is to communicate with you more, which translates into more honesty and openness--for you and for me. I'll focus on myself and what I can do. It's not that I haven't been honest with you, but perhaps at times there have been hesitations in openness and indirect honesty to avoid certain confrontations.
Understandably so...
There was a phase in our relationship not too long ago that there were some serious walls in our communication. Every disagreement would end in one or both of us clamming up. There was no agreeing to disagree or finding happy mediums, it was just one headache after another. And every time the same topic came up it would end the same, with no conclusion.
I think we're doing better now. There's less friction between us. Little by little I feel that we're successfully building our relationship. Whoever thought that the day of the wedding ceremony and two people's declaration to the world of their union is the peak of their relationship is sadly mistaken. It is just the beginning.
(June 1st Update: We can actually argue now without either of us clamming up. I can't remember the last time one of us rolled over and fell asleep angry. Also, we argue, but they are never long-lasting. We seem to be able to settle the disagreement and move on. We even sometimes argue in front of close friends and family. I think that our communication as improved a lot since I posted the above)
