Young couple in need of help

[MrBond]

rabbitae86,

You've been getting some great advice here.

First and foremost rule of DB. DO NOT bring up the R. PERIOD.

Definitely don't bring your clans into this because that'll just piss her off even more.

Make the changes you need to and SHOW her.

My W is the same way in terms of being not emotionally open. Just take it one day at a time and change yourself. If she criticizes you reading, so what? It's for you after all.

Be the father that you want your kids to look up to.
