Communication Barrier

Sometimes my relationship with my husband makes me want to slam my head into the nearest wall. The fact that he and I speak different languages and have had to create our own common language might have something to do with it. But sometimes the barrier doesn't have anything to do with words, it is the cultural differences. Especially when it comes to food. Last night at about 11:30 we are settled in for the night and he turns to me and says "I want a soda." Being the only one with a license, this means that I would have to get up and go drive to the nearest store to purchase said soda. I am one of those people, who could probably be labeled a grandmother, that does not like to go out past a certain time at night unless it was already agreed upon beforehand(like a party or something) K is the opposite and is a complete night owl. He doesn't see anything wrong with just picking up and going to do something at midnight. In Korea he would do that all the time, he says. Needless to say sometimes love is working past the barriers in a relationship and putting the other person first. Which is to say that K totally had to wait for his soda until the next day. ;)
