I Love To Plan, My Partner Hates Logistics. Here’s My Struggle
Making plans with friends is a nightmare
This happens all of the time: I’m trying to make plans with a friend, she suggests a couple of different nights, I’m free on all of them, but I’d like to see what my partner has planned, since we haven’t had a date night in a long time. I try to talk to him about it, but he’s “tired” or “doesn’t want to look at one more piece of logistics today” and won’t give me an answer. Meanwhile, my friend is on the other line, waiting for an answer. She needs to plan her life, which I, as a planner, totally understand. So I just pick a date.
