Q: Think back as to whether your spouse has recently become condescending or whether he or she has been condescending your entire relationship. You can do this by asking yourself some questions: Did you originally marry someone who came into the relationship with a condescending attitude, or did it develop later in the marriage? Determining if this is a new behavior or an attitude that he already held can help you figure out how best to handle his inappropriate behavior. Did your spouse completely change after marriage? Is it possible that you didn't see your spouse for the person he really is or was he putting on a game face before marriage to seal the deal? Could a new job be influencing your spouse's behavior? From on-the-job stress to feeling heady about being promoted to a lofty position, job influences can have a powerful impact on even the most unflappable personality. While this information can help you figure out more about why your partner is being condescending, when you confront your spouse, be sure to keep the conversation focused and on the present. You can get a sense of whether the condescension is motivated by something you may have done by looking at when the condescending remarks are likely to occur. Do they only occur in certain contexts, such as in parenting discussions? Or, are they more widespread? Nailing down a specific time and circumstance will help you determine if your spouse has a trigger behavior or context. However, keep in mind that sometimes people don't know their own motivations for their behaviors, so don't get stuck on this step if it is not helpful for you personally. If your spouse is condescending to you in the context of being around his work colleagues, does the behavior occur in front of the boss, equals or subordinates (or everyone at work)? What kinds of comments are delivered? Does he talk down to you when you try to weigh in on what's happening at work? One possibility is that your spouse feels intimidated or even embarrassed by your job and covers up his true feelings with catty, rude remarks. If this is the case, you can focus on addressing his condescending behavior within this specific context. Do you find that you are always keeping your guard up when you and your spouse are around your family and friends? Or do you feel that you are constantly being "put in your place" by your spouse when around his family and friends? In some cases, your spouse has been chronically condescending to the point where the behavior is part of his personality. That said, people aren't always aware of their own behaviors. He may not know that he is behaving inappropriately. Also, if your spouse is overcompensating due to an insecurity, he may be so determined to muster confidence that he may not realize that his behavior is offensive. Does your spouse continue talking with you after a condescending remark, acting as though nothing happened? If this is the case, he may not be aware that the remarks are rude and inappropriate. Does your spouse seem to speak to everyone around him in the same manner or are you the only target? A sarcastic person may believe that condescension is just part of "his charm." He may not realize that instead of being funny, the comments are mean-spirited and hurtful.
A: Assess when the condescension began. Determine whether the behavior is context specific. Examine if your spouse is aware of his behavior.

Q: You'll need candy canes or candy cane sticks, as well as a vase, ribbon, hot glue, and something to put in the vase, such as candy or flowers. If you don't want to ruin a vase, you can use a leftover can (such as a soup can) for the same effect; just be sure to wash it out well and take the label off. With the hooks facing outwards at the top, glue the candy canes vertically onto the vase or can. Make sure to glue them right next to each other, so the vase or can doesn't show underneath. Go all the way around with the candy canes. You can glue them with or without the plastic, but you may need to coat them with a clear varnish afterwards if you glue them on without the plastic. Wrap a ribbon around the middle of the vase or can, going around the candy canes. It's a good idea to glue it in place on the inside of the ribbon, as it will have a tendency to slip otherwise. Tie the ribbon in a bow. You can also glue a small peppermint candy in the middle of the bow. Finally, add in your decoration of choice to the middle of the vase. You could use a flower, such as red carnations. You could also fill it with a candy of your choice, including more candy canes, for guests to eat.
A: Gather what you need. Glue the candy canes on. Add a ribbon. Fill the vase or can.

Q: If you live in an approved country, you can apply for a visa online and wait for them to mail you the letter. Go to the Vietnamese Immigration Department's website, follow the instructions for your specific country, and fill out the application online to apply. The costs are the same for online applications, but you'll pay an additional $25 for online processing. To begin the process, visit the Vietnamese Department of Immigration online at https://evisa.xuatnhapcanh.gov.vn/. There are several online agencies that approve visas and do the paperwork for you, but they'll upcharge you for your application. It's best just to go through official channels. The Vietnamese dong is Vietnam's national currency, and you have to change some cash out if you plan on buying anything. Go to your bank and exchange some cash before flying out to avoid getting ripped off at a currency exchange. You probably won't spend more than $25 a day, even if you eat out for every meal. Many places in Vietnam do not take credit cards, so you may not be able to get everything you need with plastic. The dong is an extremely unstable currency, so things are pretty cheap in Vietnam if you're converting American dollars, British pounds, or Euros.
A:
Apply for a visa online if you don't mind waiting a little for approval. Change your money out at a bank before flying.
