So, I learned something new about my husband tonight! I have a huge emotional range, and my brain thinks many different things all at the same time. When I am wounded, it runs deeply. I can get excited over the silliest and best things. Also, when you cry, I can definitely cry with you. When you are happy, I can be happy with you. On the other hand, when Mike Lettner is happy, he is just happy. When he is upset, he is just upset. And he can let go of those feelings pretty quickly, unlike me. If I ask him what he is thinking, he isn't thinking about much. When he asks me what I am thinking, I often don't want to explain to him because I am thinking so much all at once, and it is so complicated to put into words. Mike explained it that he is just not as deep emotionally...and it has taken me almost 8 years to grasp this!
It perplexes me that God made us so differently! It wasn't until we had a huge discussion tonight that I realized this. I love my man so much, and this is one more reason to accept Mike as he is. After all, I cannot change the workings of his brain, and I know that he cannot change the mess called my brain.
