Tom Petty said it best. You know, “The waiting is the hardest part”. However, Amy applies those thoughts a little differently when it comes to relationships and how people interact with one another over time. Take a listen.
There are times that you know you shouldn’t wait. If you need stitches, you shouldn’t wait. If you find a lump somewhere, you definitely don’t wait. If you need a hand with being stuck under something, you don’t wait….you yell for a hand, right? Well, think of the waiting game in your head if you wait on the idea of something that’s troubling you with your partner in life. It can build and build and slowly over time, and as it does so does the inability to talk about what it is that’s troubling you and why it’s caused you some harsh feelings.
Now, the idea of “just getting through it” is part of any long term relationship. That might work when it comes to small things like crumbs by the toaster or leaving the cap off the toothpaste, but in other circumstances, it’s a little more complicated. What if you stew for years over a comment like “You eat like a pig”? Or maybe you hear things like “I can’t believe what a mess this is all the time?” Those might stick and over time, they fester. Wouldn’t it be better to learn ways to communicate your feelings and get that over with? “I don’t know how.” That’s what Amy is here talking about. It’s the tool kit you need, not the baggage. Not the worry. Not the unknowns.
