On the way to the movie "The Ides of March", Dan and I were squabbling. Immediately after I heard him say the two magical words, I had a U-turn and drove my car home.
What made him so furious? It was because of one comment I made when he asked me if the movie theater served popcorn for the 9:50 AM showing. What did I say? I said, "Do you have brain? No concession stand would bother to pop popcorn for the first showing." I know I shouldn't have said that, but sometimes some words just blurt out. Shocked to see his violent reaction, I was speechless. I didn't realize "do you have brain" could make my husband furious like a mad man. While I was taking all the arrows shooting from his mouth, a scene occurred to me. About a year ago, I was upset with one of my colleague friends because of one comment she made on me. After I told her something about someone, she said, "Don't be so nosy!" As soon as I heard it, I let her know I was offended because I didn't think I was a nosy person. After she realized she used the wrong word, she apologized and then said she didn't know the word "nosy" could be that offensive/negative to me. I didn't understand how she felt until Dan was mad at me this morning. What a vulnerable couple we are! One comment like "don't be so nosy" or "do you have brain" can make us lose our control or composure! Both of us definitely need to work on our EQ!
