Good morning, good morning.
Yesterday, Ankur went to pick Ishu up from school. I handed him some fruit and a Babybel cheese as a stroller snack.
I wasn’t able to join him for pick-up because I had a 4pm meeting. He took off with the stroller and I went back into the bedroom to do a little more work before my meeting started.
I randomly thought back to our trip home for Thanksgiving and then typed up this post and shared it on my FB page.
Later in the evening, Ankur read it and walked out of the room with a smile on his face.
“I agree with most of your post. But I think you made up some things. I did not archive the e-mail.”
I mean, I SAW HIM.
SWEAR IT.
I SAW HIM SWIPE AND THEN ARCHIVE.
But….
…maybe his finger was hovering over a different button. Because, when I went scrolling through his e-mail, the e-mail was still in his inbox.
So I’d like to formally retract my statement. And say that Ankur did NOT in fact archive the e-mail.
He told me that it was probably best to not remove the post. Because he does agree with what I’m trying to convey. That there’s a lot of stuff running around in my brain that doesn’t run around in his.
And he’s going to now read this post and say, “You didn’t need to do this.”
But I’m not going to be one of the people that fabricates details to make her stories better. Nope.
So, I guess the e-mail was not archived.
But the message is the same.
And I, perhaps, love my husband even more for not wanting me to retract my statement because he thinks it is an important thing to share with people.
Okay, that is all.
HAVE A GREAT DAY.

There is so much to love in this post. The fact that your husband corrected you respectfully and that you respectfully apologized for getting a detail wrong.
The sentiment can stay the same, of course. But it speaks to your strength as a couple that you can speak up and speak your truths without offending each other. And also I love that he understood the message you were trying to convey, the mental overload…It is a lot this time of year ❤️
