Don’t ask me how I’m feeling


Could very well be the title of a power ballad Celine Dion would sing. It’s also a question I hate being asked. I just don’t like talking about how I feel. My standard response is ‘it doesn’t matter…’.

The thing about being married though, is that you are meant to talk about your feelings. I get frightened though that the heat of my emotions then cause me to say things I will later regret. Which is why I prefer the ‘time out’ approach – walking out of the room and composing myself for five minutes before responding.

Despite my venting and spray of irrational and selfish thought, the response is always the same, ‘I love you and you have taught me so much about life’.
