The June heavy weights

Every June, it seems that I write ten or so blogs. Then for the rest of the year, I begin tapering off until November hits and I stop all together. I think that stop has something to do with hockey starting. Hell, I think the start of my blog writing takes place because hockey has ended. It would seem very plausible for me to be a writer only when hockey is not on. Maybe I should be a hockey writer.

There is also another statistic that I uncovered during my blog looks. Every July I have marriage problems. Every July, I write about them and all of a sudden things get put back under the rug again. This year is going to be different from the last two years. Two years ago I wrote a blog titled "a fatal error" or something to that effect. When I wrote that article, I was referring to a situation that I had put myself in. I was pissed at my wife for leaving my computer charger at her friends house. The night went really bad, as the blog goes into detail. Last year I wrote a similar blog about a similar problem. Not really something to do with my computer, but more of a chilling situation that caused a huge argument. My wife moved out for a week and life was not going well. This July could be even worse. I believe firmly that my wife and I spend too much time together resulting in these arguments. We piss each other off to the point where it becomes formal to remark sarcastically to the other persons idea's.

This year, we have a child and things could really reach the tipping point. One of my strongest arguments for supporting this unfortunate statistic is the level of blogging that I do in July. During July I write about five blogs. For the past two years each July has been full of the same crap that has covered me from the July before. I cannot seem to grasp the reason for our fighting other than the fact that we met through distance and the close personal time during the summer weighs in too much.

This year I believe that I have a plan though. I think I might be able to get through the summer by taking more time away from my wife than spending with her. I know that sounds harsh, but in reality I must do it in order to maintain a healthy relationship. The key to any relationship lasting is to know your limits. My Grandmother-in-law once said the key to a healthy long lasting relationship is to not talk much. She is right about that. Annoying your partner too much could lead to fighting, another problem in my marriage.

I plan on going boating, fishing and doing anything I can to get out of the house. I will spend as much time as possible with my daughter, but I must focus on the key ingredient that makes this relationship two people; myself. Yes, I know that sounds conceded but if I do not focus on myself my wife will end up focusing on both of us. We both must bring something to the table that will benefit the relationship.

For now I will leave everyone with that. Follow me on twitter and be sure to retweet this.
