weird things that upset the good wife

 

 

I and my sweet wife Lynn just had a dizzy of an argument Saturday.We were driving down to Spicer's restaurant to get breakfast, I looked to the floor board on the passenger side, and I notice my knuckle-toughener was gone.The knuckle toughener is a small piece of brick that I hold in one hand and hit it with the other hand while driving. I steer by using the left thigh.I hit it solidly with the "i-kwon" and with the pisaform bone (using the proper hand flex for dim mak) as I drive down the road. I do have a specific dim mak routine that I do a minimum of 3 times a week, even now after 57 years of training.Lynn tells me, "I threw out the trash".I tell her, "I wasn't trash, it's a training tool".Lynn-"Well what do you use it for?"I tell her, as I've told her for the past 36 years.She tells me, "That's stupid. You are going to hurt yourself. What do you think you are, a 20 year old? You are going to hurt yourself. Knock off that stupid crap".That was about the end of the conversation.Any way, today I put a new "knuckle toughener" onto the floor boards of the passenger side.I'm just curious to what you do with your training methods that upset your wife and you don't have a clue to why that is.©

Lol, sorry Doc, that is funny and does hit home here with me. My

wife still doesn't understand a quarter of what I do to keep my life

vibrant and alive.

 

It used to frustrate me, but not anymore. As a teacher once told

me, be careful what you say and who you share this with.

 

That's why I train very early in the mornings while she still sleeps.

 

Cheers,

Troy

And I was going to say that's a Fire's way of caring (ie worrying about you :)Helen On Apr 19, 2007, at 3:29 AM, hunter wrote: no wife, no problem....as for partners.....I don't tend to care what they think about my drills so long as they don't get in the way of me maintaining My health......

I had to think about this a bit and it has to do with classic element

behavior, not about you hurting yourself with the brick, not about

gender or spouses.

 

Once a visiting out of town in-law decided to " help me out around the

house " , he really " just had to help " and do something to show his

appreciation even after I told him I didn't want him to, and I was

pretty adamant about it.

 

I'm a metal and don't like my space meddled with in any way. Even my

" messy " areas are well organized and meaningful and " sacred " to me :-)

 

He didn't listen.

 

On the last day of his visit, while I was at work he did the laundry

and later I was to discover that he ruined several articles of my

clothing. I was reminded about it for several weeks afterwards, like

the time I went to put on one of my silk blouses and discovered he had

shrunk it several sizes by putting it in the dryer.

 

He also " straightened out " my kitchen cupboards and my pantry, and

rearranged my large cookbook collection in the pantry. While

vacuuming he broke a little figurine that my late grandmother had

given me on my 9th birthday. I had placed it high up on a window

ledge, out of reach, so it wouldn't get broken. It had been up there

for years undisturbed. For weeks afterwards I was looking for things

in my kitchen.

 

I kept coming upon all the other little unexpected things he had done

because he " just had to help " . That happened ten years ago, he hasn't

been back since.

 

Anyone want to guess which one of the five elements he is?

Hello Doc and group,

I've been dealing with this type of situation for many years now (I'm metal and she's fire...)

I've heard many things.....Psychologists and MFC therapists (including the one we are seeing now)we've been to have always said we are in a power struggle and she wants to call the shots (be the one to make the decisions and excersize control).....Vietnamese MFCs alwyas say I am the one trying to excersize control .....As a metal, I see someone's over-riding my organizational tactics as destructive, and it messes up both my organizational and planning skills ....totally creating havoc and making life "harder".....As fire, She lives for the spur of the moment...

I learned from Doc that Fire elements create from their 2nd and 3rd chackras....and that competition among Fire and Metals will always be present.

I would still like to see someday a seminar about how to get the most out of a Metal-Fire relationship (and other inter-elemental relationships also).....I don't have an answer to Doc's question....other than what I do is ground and re-check the circuits running in right direction...

This is a small suggestion -- but it's really really helped in the past few weeks.I now sleep on the left side -- he is to my right. He can pick up my fire and I don't overheat. Plus, I go to sleep right away now.We slept the other way for years and let's just say it wasn't so good.

Yep.

 

Us " location orientated " folks literally go berserk when some well

meaning " cleaning " person fuxks up our " order " and our " sequences " .

 

Most of us Wood/Metals and Metals work off of plans.

 

And we get real pissed when those valuable plans are scattered from

heaven to hell.
