It is what it is...

It has been said that the definition of insanity is repeating the same action over and over while expecting a different result.





With that said;

1. If something that your partner says/does irks/annoys you, describe how and why it annoys you, and ask him/her to consider that you will feel the same way next time
2. If/when it recurs, mention that this is a repetition of the thing that you previously found annoying
3. Shut up
4. Cut and run

So, why then is it always so hard?

Accept, and what will be, will be.

Lesson learned.

Move along... nothing to see here.
