My hubby and I have been debating something recently, and this afternoon brought to mind those old Meyers-Briggs personality tests. (That’s the test that gives you your own set of initials based on Extraversion/Introversion, Sensing/Intuition, Thinking/Feeling, Judging/Perceiving.) At one point in our discussion, I said something along the lines of “I understand that’s how you feel, but that doesn’t help me get any closer to us deciding whether to do this or not!”. Conversations like that frustrate me horribly! I want an action plan to come out of the conversation – if we’re going to do X, then we need to do Y and Z on this timeline to prepare for X. If we decide we’re not going to do X, then we can do A and B instead. This fuzzy feeling stuff doesn’t resolve the X or not X question!

Luckily, we’ve been married long enough, and worked together through enough conversations like that, that they usually just make us laugh. My poor husband, though. . . he’s got a wife who wants to set up a Gantt chart for her life.
