Quotes to ponder:

"You are such a baby. You interrupt me and then walk out of the room, which makes me feel like the bad guy. No wonder I don’t want to have a baby!"

"I want to be able to speak with you about how I feel about having a baby right now without you leaving the room or getting upset with me before I’m done talking."

"I want us to discuss issues calmly without either of us raising our voices. That’s what I need to stay in the room and truly listen to you."
