food fight...

No, not the kind you had in elementary where sloppy joes got throw across the cafeteria - I'm talking about an argument over food.

Words used to discuss food and decisions revolving around food.

Last night my fiance and I were trying to figure out what to eat, again (I wanted Chinese and he wanted pizza). Ever since that second session we had with that prepare questionaire counselor, it's been one thing after another.

I'm not sure that we can deal with all the issues we're having. We used to talk about things all the time, but now I am afraid I'm being to assertive, because according to the questionaire I'm the more assertive person in the relationship.

What does this mean to me? It feels like every time something comes up I can't express my opinion. I don't want to feel like a submissive person in this relationship, but I can't help but feel buckled down no matter what I choose.

I don't want conflicts, but I can't stand possibly disaggree all the time and think that getting my way 100% of the time is not making him feel oppressed.

So I can't say I want things this way when I know he wants things that way, but at the same time, saying that I want things that way when I don't really want things that way is lying to myself.

Oh what a world.

I believe she pegged it as a "growth area" or something of that sort.

It was something that we should watch out for because it can turn into a more serious problem.

This is why my fiance calls psychologists "psuedoscientists" and doesn't pay attention to most of the things they say.
