From “The Human Condition: A User’s Manual,” by Arnold Kunst
9 January
They’re talking about you at work behind your back and you’re really
angry. You get home from work and ask your wife how her day was and she says
they’re talking about her behind her back and she’s really angry. My
suggestion: get her to talk it out. And if she spends the next two hours
telling you all about it, think of it
this way: maybe you just did for her what no man in her life has EVER done –
not her father, or a priest, or any boy friend, not a favorite teacher, nobody.
In fact, you just might have made a friend for life [and that applies even if
she is your wife, right?].
And two hours later, when she asks you how your day was, it’ll be time
enough to tell her.
