I See You And I Hear You

Trevor is the best ever in the whole world.

But… sometimes he kinda sucks.

Like, when he does dumb stuff.

He made me mad, kinda pretty a lot mad.

I had a lot on my plate, emotions were high and he tipped that plate right over.

He texted me the next day and could tell he’d blown it from my responses (I’m so transparent).

So he apologized.

I let him know why I was mad.

He responded,

“I see you and I hear you.”

HAHAHAAAA. How is that for defusing an angry wife?

We like watching the TV show Parenthood together. At one point the grandparents, Zeke and Millie, are having some major marital problems. They go see a therapist. The therapist instructs Zeke that when Millie talks to him, instead of lashing out or getting mad or not listening, he needs to simply say, “I see you and I hear you.”

The kids make fun of them for this, and it does become somewhat of a joke. That whole episode happened quite a while ago.

But today, while expressing how I feel, Trevor just said, “I see you and I hear you.” I was in the middle of texting him while crying and as soon as I saw his response I couldn’t help but laugh.

I seriously am so grateful for him. Even when he’s a putz.

Love,

Brittney
