Unfair I may be, but I'm not
quite certain of that fact.
It's hard to be objective when
you judge the way I act.
I hurt your feelings, so you say,
but do you care for mine?
Your constant criticism leaves me
feeling less than fine.
You tell me I don't like you much.
I'd say the same for you.
If this is liking me, I wonder
what dislike would do.
In honesty, I must admit
my attitude needs work.
I'll like you a lot more when
you're a lot less of a jerk.
In other words, your attitude
could use some labor, too.
Am I the chicken or the egg?
Who hatched this: me or you?
I'm sure we won't agree on that.
I guess we're in a pickle.
You think I suck. I think you suck.
Can we meet in the middle?
Find the intersection.

Brilliant! Good advice for all.
the age old battle - getting a man to understand it's not that he is wrong. just, that the woman is always right!
Well said. Someone once said, in a good relationship each person gives 100%. I agree with that; there's no dividing line where you stop giving and the other person starts. I'm going to share the link to this post on Facebook. I think my friend would enjoy it very much.
Quite the statement in that poem. I think marriage, and parenting, too is such a learning ground, isn't it?
Ah so true ~ well penned!
Happy Weekend to you,

Yup. I can't stand not being able to talk things through in a disagreement.
Oh how I can identify with the words in this poem!! :)
good very good.
Oh, I loved this one. Great wisdom in this one. I have a daughter and her husband that need to read this one. I think we all have moments like this one and I loved the ending.
Blessings and hugs for another fantastic poem!
