Day 2: Love is Kind Results

Today was terrible. I've been trying so hard to accomplish just the first two dares of the book. I almost feel like giving up. This morning I got up and got his things, his glasses and phone, of which he almost always forgets, and had them ready for him when he left so he wouldn't forget them. I thought this was a great random act of kindness. I could have just laid in bed or gone back to sleep. He mentioned it and then was like you should have gotten me all of my stuff, like his clothes, breakfast, etc. While yes that would have been nice, I'm trying to start small.

So today I came home from class and he had cleaned the house, well all except the dishes. I am so thankful for this. I agreed to do the dishes and began doing them but didn't finish them so I could cook dinner and spend time with him before he left for the library for the night. After dinner he went in his room and cleaned it. I asked him to come sit with me and spend some time with me before he left but instead he came out of his room saying that I don't ever do anything. The reason I hadn't finished the dishes was because I was planning on doing them while he was gone. I value our time that we have to spend together and I didn't want to waste it by doing the dishes. I was truly hurt by his comment and broke down crying. My feelings were hurt beyond belief. He then later said that I don't do this everyday but he was mad because I wasn't doing the dishes. It made me feel like why should I even try doing this dare?

I'm just going to pray for a better day tomorrow.
