Co-existence

Yeah, it's been a while.... My life keeps changing mostly for the good. But, today was a challenge.
How do you handle having an exciting day while your wife is having a shitty day?

Seems like my excitement just drains the life out of her. I, then, take it personally, which I have yet to grow thicker skin. She in turn states that it then all becomes about "me". She says I don't listen, yet I feel like I do.

I do the wrong thing, when she says I just don't get it, and leave the room. We love each other, yet I can't seem to communicate properly. What is it that I don't understand? What can I do that is right and not always "wrong"? Why do I get soooo frustrated?

I absolutely hate confrontation. Yet, hear I am pissing off the one person who's opinion means the world to me.

Ok...there are just too many "I's" in this post. How do I make this "not" about me, you selfish bastard!

Take it easy on yourself, man. You're both wonderful people.

Thanks, Husher! All is well again. Beau reminds me that arguing is healthy and helps us grow. Lots of old family baggage for me as I grew up in a very conservative "never argue" household.

Alas!! I married an amazing woman!!!
