Phil--
Quote:
Would you rather be right or married?

Quote:
I thought you said you read my sitch. KS and I have beat this topic to death.

I need support, not stupidity.


Sorry, this is the crux of the matter. How many people have to mention this before you catch on? Because it's glaringly obvious to all of us. Far from stupidity. Support doesn't always mean saying "oh poor Phil." Sometimes it's trying to get your attention when the issues are very clear, hoping you'll eventually catch on. Your need to be right and make sure everyone else knows they're wrong, your arrogance, your sense of entitlement, and your inability to accept responsibility for your behavior are the issues that cause you problems in your marriage and in your life. And until you humble yourself enough to learn from this, you will continue to be frustrated and grieve the loss of your wife. It is this simple--make your marriage your priority, or keep your pride and need to be seen as superior your priority and lose your marriage. Want to be right or want to be married?

Nothing will be right until she snaps out of it.

You can't change her, Phil, you can only change yourself.

cussing--It's my solace. Besides I cuss for edification purposes. Yes I do it too much.
Oh, come on Phil. You cuss to impart grace? You really believe that? You call your wife a b-word and a c-word--is that supposed to be edifying? That's justification, and that's all it is. At least be honest with yourself.
