Comments on: where the heart is… http://www.lostplum.com/2010/07/01/where-the-heart-is/ Mon, 30 Jan 2012 21:22:25 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: SoloAt30 http://www.lostplum.com/2010/07/01/where-the-heart-is/#comment-1996 SoloAt30 Wed, 28 Jul 2010 16:36:25 +0000 http://www.lostplum.com/?p=1095#comment-1996 Loved this post. Perhaps that is partially why it's so tempting for me to go back to the ex, it's familiar, I have the fond memories, being with him feels like home. I know his quirks, how much of a perfectionist he is over "little" things, am amused when he does his goofy dancing just for me. But then you also remember the little annoyances in a home, like the low water pressure, the way the shower water is scalding one second, freezing the next. As for the ex, he is engaging and involved one moment, and distant and in his own world the next. Sometimes when it comes to relationships, you shouldn't go home again. It's nice when you can come home to family though. :) Loved this post.

House or hombre alike. Him making me laugh until my stomach aches and the fact that they installed the shower knob backwards so that the line that points to "red" signifying hot is actually the cold water will never be lost on those who have discovered what is really important in life. Especially when I forget to tell guests and they scream once they find about that damned misleading shower knob. ;-) Enjoy home! It's where the heart is. Miss ya plummy!

Second: The little things are often just reflections of the larger issues, which is why they seem to matter. Leaving the cap off the toothpaste, for example, is often taken as a sign of disrespect or not "listening". Also, some of these little things are things we don't like, but can put up with as long as the relationship is viable. As it deteriorates, these little things become far more relevant.
