The Argument!

It's been a long time since my last post. So let me catch you up on everything you've missed.....

Jennifer and I were in a long - LONG - heated argument about whether or not we should stay in Jacksonville or move back to Auburn. Here is the argument/debate in a nutshell:

Topic:
We live in Jacksonville. Jennifer got a job offer in Auburn.

Problem:
1) Jennifer hated working in Auburn.
2) I was miserable teaching in Jacksonville.

Either way, one of us was going to be unhappy.

Now, when I say we fought over this decision - I mean - WE FOUGHT!

We argued every second of every minute of every hour for about a week. Until finally I just didn't care anymore. I called her, told her that I wanted us to stay in Jacksonville, and that was my final decision.

Why? What changed? As weird as it sounds - I just wanted to see Jennifer smile again. I wanted her to laugh. And if that meant postponing my "wants" and "needs," well than I guess that is what married life is about, right?

I'm not a doormat to Jennifer. But I do know when it's time to say "enough is enough" and make the hard decision.

So what would you have done?

Would you...
a) have done what made you happy?
b) have done what made your significant other happy?


It's a much harder decision than you think it is.
