Wife in Major MLC...Looking to Vent

[bombardier50]

Jack,
I hear you...but I'm still glad I didn't feed the beast. Right now, in her fog, talking about the relationship leads to an endlessly circular argument that quickly spirals downward into cesspool of anger. I'm not going there.

MC went very well...OK...maybe not so well for her. But I felt a heck of a lot better after the session.

Last night she came home from work and the first thing she wanted to do was engage me in an argument...again. So I told her that I WILL NOT talk about the relationship tonight. I told her we can talk about her day, the weather, the beautiful sunset I photographed, our grandkids, the price of gas, baseball...anything she wants BUT the relationship.

And it worked. For the first time in months, we spent half an hour just talking to each other about her day and my day. And we both went to bed and said a pleasant goodnight to each other.
