Good life partners make their spouses part of the program. They don't callously dump their own personal goals on another. Patient people take time to plan their vacations together. Theyencourage each other to think things over and to contributepersonal feelings, hopes, and convictions to the discussion. Impatient partners steam roll their mates.
Impatience creates anger, resentment, and bitterness.
You cancount on it. Impatience is a form of contempt and eventually thebeleaguered partner perceives it as exactly that. I baited the hook wrong. I held the line tootight. When I didn't catch anything, he made fun of me.
