Good evening, I hope you have been enjoying yourself of late, refurnishing your house. Tomorrow you and your wife will be going to buy the furniture, and she is excited while you are dreading it (it is expensive), but I am writing to you because if you do have the right attitude, you will not make it out of the store.
Your attitude originates from three places. An unacknowledged truth, a slithery lie and a repeated frustration. The unacknowledged truth is that you are not happy about spending more money. This is an unacknowledged truth because your wife does not know about it, you need to tell her how you feel because in not telling her, resentment builds. This will look like the arguments with your wife as chooses high quality (but expensive) furniture while you are going for the cheapest possible options.
The slithery lie is that your wife doesn’t care about money. This lie, which is demonic, works for two reasons. One, you are already frustrated about having to spend money and two, because you have not spoken to your wife about how you feel, you have not heard how she feels either. Truth breaks lies, lies grow in ignorance. This will make you feel like she is intentionally choosing the most expensive furniture out of spite and intensify your arguments.
The repeated frustration happens just before you leave for the shop. You will attempt to fix the office chair and, as you soon realise it is taking longer than you feel reasonable, you will rush and in turn jam your finger. The throbbing will not leave, in fact during the argument with your wife it will intensify. We dealt with this in the previous letter, but I feel it is a point that will need repeating. Your own worth is not measured in your ability to fix things. Remember this truth and even delay leaving by half an hour to make sure you are calm.
So what happens if you make no changes tomorrow? Well, you argue with your wife, it then intensifies, your finger throbs and your mind rages and as you storm away, having said the kind of thing that will make your wife cry, and you trip over a coffee table, tumble into a heavy glass wardrobe and pull it down on top of you. You will die, your wife will forever have painful last words and that wardrobe will never sell.
Talk to your wife and make sure you don’t shop angry; you have a bad habit of being short with her.
