Relaxation Rip Off!

[Nicolette]

Anthony told me he had something planned for me today that would be relaxing - relieve stress (cancelled coffee with a friend) . His 'relaxation' event is making me study the law module I have been avoiding like the plague. He figures if he makes me study then I will less stressed resulting in him being less stressed.

He is so not any fun.... studying Law = relaxation (rubbish!)

Gotta go as I've also been banned from the forum today.

Banned from the forum? Whyyy?

His intentions sound good, whether or not it matches your idea of a good time is completely different. Hope you do well studying, I've got a lot to study as well.

Makes wonderful sense to me!

Yes relaxation Nicolette, believe it or not;

Just not while you study (LOL).

......The rewards will follow, never precede. (Smiles)..(LOL)..

Hope

I've got a lot to study as well.

Good luck with your study Cakey

.... geez, I'd better go....arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Yuck! Studying law is NOT relaxing. Hope you get a lot done, though, so you can rest up.

Oh my gosh. Banning you so you'll study

That made me laugh out loud!!

Nicolette - there's 1,000,000 different ways that he could relax you and THAT'S what he comes up with! I think you should suggest he go and re-read the "I think I was sexually harassed by my cat" thread if he needs any good
ideas!

Actually, Nicolette is playing this up... What I said to her was that I have a plan that will reduce her stress, I never mentioned relaxing... but stress reduction were the terms I used. She has avoided this last module of her course for 9 months now, cost additional $$$ to register this year for her to do it, and she has a cut-off later this year that if its not done, she is in the shit with her ability to run her company...

Knowing Nicolette, she was going to leave it to the last minute. Low and behold, actually making her face it and do it, there is more work in this module than she thought, so far, she has done about 10+ hours into it, with a lot more required yet; so if she left it to the last minute, she would have been screwed to the wall with her qualifications and abilities to perform her job.

She has been stressing about this, using everything and anything as an excuse to avoid doing it, so I tricked her to get it started, and now allocated every Saturday for it, so she gets it done, its out of the way, then no more stress surrounding it.

I have been watching the damage this has been doing to her first hand, so I did put my foot down and be the nasty man with this one... and I believe it was warranted. I think my lovely wife should be working for the media, as she can put a spin on wording when she feels like it to suit herself.

I love you baby... but don't piss in my pocket now!

Whatever works....I doubt that particular ploy would reduce my stress...but then what works here might be looked at as a trifle unusual elsewhere too. I suspect every couple has such moments and methods that suit them, and that others would look at and go hmmmm about! LOL!

 

[anthony]

It causes her stress, so to remove it, you face it... she is now doing that, not liking it, but doing it, and the end result is that she doesn't have it hanging over her head any longer... hence, another unnecessary stressor removed hanging over her head. We both see the impacts of stress on one another, if we don't face things, change, accomplish... she pushes at me if I am shifting in the wrong direction, as I do with her... others can usually see our own faults that we can't always identify ourselves.

It never fails to amaze me how two people that have the exact same conversation yet walk away with completely different interpretations of it! FASCINATING.
