Jeff, yay for you about the weight loss. It is much better to lose it slowly.

I think Jack is right, she needed to temper it with that comment.

But I really feel that your wife feels that she isnt being heard and that is frustrating her. I also think she is in a depression. Just my opinion, of course. But I think you really should try to listen to what she is actually saying and what she isnt, ya know? I know how frustrated you are and how difficult this all is. But just try to act as if you are really hearing her - whether you agree with what she wants or not, whether the things that are important to her are not important to you, whether you think she will never be satisfied or not. What have you got to lose?
