Understanding Emotional Weather in Relationships

When my husband calls me on his way home, he's not trying to figure out

what's for dinner. He's checking the weather.

That's what he's doing.

He's getting the forecast for the evening.

He wants to know what he's walking into. Am I crying?

Am I throwing everything away? Am I dancing in the kitchen?

What's the situation? Hello. Skies are clear.

She's good. It is safe to come home.

But the thing about weather is it can turn at

any moment. You talked to me 20 minutes ago.

That forecast is no longer current.

Conditions can change. So yes, call ahead,

check the forecast, but be prepared

for a weather event
