The (Illusory) Power of, "I’m Right, You’re an Idiot"
It’s easy to point the finger, but that’s not going to solve the problem. Here's why and how it’s best to work out tough situations together.
There you are, flat on your back under the kitchen sink, trying valiantly to repair the plumbing as it drips cold water all over your face and you cry out to your spouse, "Would you hand me the wrench please?"
Your beloved nonchalantly ambles over, munching on a chip and asks, "What wrench?"
"The wrench," you say, exasperated, "The only wrench we have!"
"Oh, that wrench," your spouse says. "I lent it to your brother a couple of weeks ago."
