I need very honest and frank opinions from those familiar with my sitch. I am very frustrated today, same old stuff. Am I a control freak that just overreacts to my W? Do I simply have unrealistic expectations ow my W, my M, life in general?

I feel like I am becoming a "high quality" person by DBing yet she continues to drive me nuts. I am more patient, mature, composed, and stable yet she keeps doing little things that I just can't deal with. Mostly money and work (business and home) issues. I am a financial professional and tell her that if you do A then B will happen. She does A anyway and is surprised when B happens. "I am a professional and told you that it would but you ignored me". Why doesn't she respect me enough to take my professional opinion? Why is it that people 40 or more years my senior will follow my advice like scripture but my W won't?

It is not even 3 p.m. here but I am ready for a cocktail. I just found out that two of my clients are in a spat and ready to kill each other over a business deal. I thought I was a CPA but sometimes I feel more like and ADP (Adult Daycare Professional). Between my W, my job, and my kids it is only the grace of God that has kept me sane, well kind of.

Help,
