A much anticipated PC game released yesterday. Baldur's Gate 3 for those familiar. The excitement and restlessness are in-part the cause of not sitting to meditate. The other tasks were completed. Though now it's the morning and instead of the walk I'd planned, I want to jump right into playing more of the game. Similarly there was a moment yesterday where I was already formulating how to explain having not exercised. However in that event I began setting up the stationary bike while entertaining the thoughts, and before any additional resistances appeared was able to get some cardio and felt better for it.

Today I am already formulating why I didn't go outside so I think I'll go outside and see if it helps with the formulation.

Many meditate because their experience of not meditating repeatedly manifests as an increased level of suffering for everyone around them.
This could be one description of love?

Possible adapting options to consider in this situation are..
Simply experience your partner's response as the phenomena to sit with that it is?
Check if your meditation is missing its sense of humor?
Sit facing outward with your gaze upon the floor.
or my personal favourite
pounce wild eyed from your sitting position upon her while intently saying "but not as scary as this".

Yes, some of my friends have commented that I seem to be relationship challenged!
