We both hate the word MY as it pertains to belongings. It just amazes us to watch HGTV and hear couples talk about MY house, my closet... It just blows us away. (Okay, I'm talking the big things here. Obviously we all have to lay claim to clothing, shoes, etc.) It sounds selfish, and truthfully, selfishness has no place in a marriage. Just my two cents worth.<br /><br />JoannieJoanniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13883451085694200300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9023923249541954368.post-11692445369672376992013-05-14T17:26:14.065-04:002013-05-14T17:26:14.065-04:00"I" liked your post :) Seriously though..."I" liked your post :) Seriously though, it's true that when you take "I" and make it a lesser part of the equation it is better.

I guess because of that, I've always taken notice of those that don't do the same. Words really do have great power.

Thank you.<br />I've never thought of it that way, but it is certainly true that "I" can mean something positive or negative .But yes, you are right that there is something wrong in the marriage, when "I" suddenly feels wrong and alone. Interesting thought.<br /><br />I have always been cautious and pronounced the word "I" instead of "you" if I want to say something negative to Leo. Rather than attack the with "you do not do this and that", etc. .. I told him how "I" feel about it IF it was not as it should be.<br /><br /><br /><br />Board meeting? Wait, what do you do there? Oh, now I know. No, Bob, thank you so much, but no.

Not only does it feel wonderful to be doing or addressing more things together, it also seems to decrease stress along the way. <br /><br />I (there's that word- lol) did learn that there is a use for it- when one is politely disagreeing, it is better to say, "I feel blank about you forgetting to watch a show with me." Vs "you didn't watch a show with me." (An accusation). This language thing sure is interesting. And once those words come out of the mouth, they've been said, and that can't be undone! Thanks Bob! Interesting to think about.
