Thoughts That Touch My Heart

"If your time together is not very often, and the time you do have together is limited, what do you accept as an excuse to not make you or the relationship a priority? Is it his laundry has to be done? Is it he has to go hunting? Is it he has to play card games with the guys? Is it he has to tidy up his house? Is it he has to put up Christmas decorations? Seriously. When you state that it's important to make time for the relationship, and he can't seem to get the small stuff done in advance, what does that say? One might conclude that he is saying these things are more important than we are. Or, it could say his priorities are out of order. Or, it could say we are not as important to him as we thought we were. Or, it could be none of these. Who knows? What is important, though, is that we don't drop everything we are doing or rearrange our plans to accommodate the guy when he decides he can now fit us in."-Doris Little
