Pic­ture from here

I can say that so far as I know, my wife agrees with me in this elec­tion on my rea­sons for non-voting.  How­ever no mat­ter how we dis­cuss the elec­tions there is no real way to know what the other per­son is truly think­ing.   In the 2004 elec­tion we debated and dis­cussed the elec­tion to death and thought that we both knew who the other wanted in the election.

In that Novem­ber we were watch­ing the elec­tion results and talk­ing about our can­di­date, but as the results came in one of us was happy the other upset.  What??????  How can this be?  We were watch­ing OUR CANDIDATE.  The can­di­date we had BOTH been behind the pre­vi­ous months.   The elec­tion didn’t go the way at least one of us wanted.   Mis­com­mu­ni­ca­tion?  Maybe.   Unless you have a lawn sign out though that your spouse put up and you agree with, don’t take it for granted, it’s all in the word­ings and in between the lines.  Some­times you miss the for­est for the trees.
