He Should Know Better!

“Every afternoon it’s the same thing,” Karin told her friend Kristin.  “David comes home from doing the chores and he doesn’t take his boots off.  They’ve got all kinds of stuff on them, but he tracks them through the house.  Doesn’t he know that I spend all kinds of time cleaning it!?”

“I know, my husband is the same way.  I don’t know how many times I’ve told him to put the toilet seat down when he’s done using it, and he always leaves it up.  The other night I was trying to be kind—so when I got up in the dark and tried to use the bathroom without turning on the lights and waking him up, I almost fell right in!”

“Men.  They should know better than to act this way!”

Why is it that when two people live together that there are unsaid expectations, and when you don’t meet the expectation you figure that they should magically know the expectations?

The only way for two people to understand each other is to talk. If you do not, the problems will continue to mount as each person will keep a list of things that irritate them and only reference them when they cannot contain themselves anymore.

Prevent fights from happening by keeping the lines of communication open and talking about your likes and dislikes.  You’ll be surprised at how much happier your marriage can be!
