i was polite to her most of the time
i was not negative about her most of the time
i was trying to understand her root problem
i was daring enough to think of postponing the verizon engagement
i was pointing out my own imperfections as a husband.
i was controlling my voice to avoid mom's type of bitter voice
i was quite sincere with my self examination to find my own imperfections
i was trying to get some buddhist guidance
