i came home to find a spreadsheet on the dining table. it had categories for emotional support, household labor, date planning, and communication. each category had a numerical score
she said she'd asked an assistant to create an objective relationship report using her weekly notes. i asked where my self-assessment was. she said including it would compromise objectivity
i pointed out that the scores were based entirely on her observations and that relationships weren't customer service departments. she said the spreadsheet was only meant to help
we threw out the scorecard and made two lists of practical things each of us needed. mine was shorter. hers was more specific. neither required calculating my husband's quarterly performance index
