Good point LL. That's exactly what my wife seems to hear, and I although I never mean to communicate to her that I don't like her, she's not good enough, etc., I can understand why she gets that feeling. It's ironic how you can love someone so much and want to be close to them so badly that you make them think the exact opposite with your tone of voice. I need to learn how to stop communicating those things and start communicating how I really feel - whether verbal or nonverbal. Thanks LL.
