Assumptions are the termites of relationships.  ~Henry Winkler ~ [Source]

Loving each other doesn’t mean that there won’t be any fights. At some point or the other, a fight or quarrel about something will occur. It leads to assumptions that the other party doesn’t care. Take the example of a husband who returned home late reeking of alcohol.

As a wife, you were worried sick as he usually would call back to inform but tonight, he didn’t. The moment you saw him, you assumed that he was out womanising when he could have been entertaining his clients. Starting to berate a drunk doesn’t help as he can’t think straight in his drunken stupor.

The next morning, he could be able to tell you that his mobile was flat and he only knew of the plans just as he was about to knock off. What about a wife returning home late? Would a husband scold her because he was worried about her safety when she couldn’t be contacted?

Assuming the worst about your spouse’s integrity isn’t going to help as it could be your imagination over-running. If the both of you love each other, integrity is the least of your problems. Don’t let the termites eat into your relationships. It isn’t worth it.

What are the ways you can help yourself from starting an argument that may not warrant a fight?
