Quoting MPT:
I think I'm getting a feel for why your wife has a hard time sharing her thoughts with you.

MPT,

I'm so sorry that what I said came across the way it did. Seeing your reply made me feel terrible. I actually wasn't trying to take a stab at you personally - I was trying to better explain why it's hard for me to see things from the "other side". But upon reading my post again I can understand your reaction. I think I let my frustration show through a bit too much.

MPT, you've been more help to me than anyone and I hope that I haven't ruined my chances of getting future input from you.

Sooner
