Before this week, I have fought with my husband for a long time, because many housework and discuss the issue of his future, have different point of views about this. We talked very less after this fight. I’m in a bad mood last week. This Monday, he took the initiative to discuss with me the problem, he talked his word in heart to me, and I know his think.
