I pride myself on being a good listener. And yet, my wife had to sit me down and talk to me about my ability to listen to her. She proceeded to explain how I have a blind spot where it relates to listening to her about me.

This weekend was exciting for all the wrong reasons. I fainted this weekend. Hitting my head and being on blood thinners means that I was at increased risk for a brain bleed. Getting up in the night two nights later because I couldn't sleep, I had a neurologic event that should have prompted me going to the ER. When I wouldn't, I put that burden of anxiety on my wife. Once we got back from the ER (later that day) and learned that I wasn't bleeding in my brain, we got a good night's sleep and my wife sat me down today to talk about how things went and that we need to do things differently.
