Wife and I haven't been going for over 2 months now while going to Christian church and finding more genuine love, support and peace there. My wife has a difficult time being up front and honest with people, because she's afraid they'll get their feelings hurt. I'm opposite of that. I find value in being up front and honest, because the longer you hold onto something, the deeper and tougher the matter will get as it festers and builds up inside the conscience.
Anyhow, I had enough of My wife beating around the bush and leading her visiting teachers on, by saying, no not this week, maybe some other time. So just as her visiting teacher was in the middle of trying to set up plans to meet up with her, I told my wife to be honest with her 3 times! She still could not bring herself to being honest! So I grabbed the phone from her gently and told her visiting teacher where we are at, comfortable and happy right now and going to a Christian church.
She listened and said, well, tell your wife we Love her and that we enjoyed visiting with her. The thing is, they don't know her and they only visited with her once over 2 months ago. I thought they never visited with her. So my instant comment back to her visiting teacher was, You can't say that, because you never met with her. Please take us off your list, thank you.
I was polite, although very worked up and outspoken. I have had to teach myself to be more outspoken in the past several years, if I ever wanted to keep people from walking all over me and getting away with crap. I used to be very shy and quite, so this is something I'm still not completely comfortable doing, although it's helped me regain some of the power back I never thought I'd overcome. It took some nerve, but at least they finally know now and we don't plan on going back. hopefully never.
