First-world fights

I refuse to be told which wasabi I should eat.

Seriously ... my husband came home and gave me grief about not having used the wasabi he bought that comes in a tube, versus another version we had. This has to take the humiliating prize for most first-world fight ever.

I gave him a response that made wasabi the heat equivalent of vanilla custard. He is now working off his wounds on the elliptical. Another first-world trope.

It's not about Wasabi, it's about power.

Here's an article I found awhile back that discusses how to communicate, cryptically titled "Just Say It".

But that's just a tease, because there's more to it than that.

Quote:

In a culture steeped in weepy talk-show confessions and online oversharing, one might conclude that blatant honesty is always the best policy. But when it comes to discussing tough topics, how, when, why, and even whether to express oneself are critical elements of productive conversations and, ultimately, relationship satisfaction. Weighing all the factors amounts to a complex psychological algorithm with the highest stakes: Get it right, and you can fortify relationships and boost your well-being. Get it wrong, and you can put a painful wedge between you and the people you love and need the most.

But don't bother keeping notes, as it will be thrown in your face in the future... repeatedly, if you last.

Ha ha, just kidding.

I love first world problem topics.

Sounds too familiar to me.

I've got no advice.
