in Caring For a Spouse or Partner

DH is unhappy with me because I made him take a shower. He said that I am a real pest. Being a well trained, knowledgeable caregiver I acknowledged his feelings and responded “yes, I’m a real hemorrhoid.” He promptly agreed with me. How is that for positive reaffirming communication?
