1. didnt communicate constructively when something was bothering me./ - i would withdraw when my W would nag instead of confronting the issue and how it made me feel -i would dig at her at times instead of expressing my anger
2. i should have listened more instead of offering solutions
3. can lose my temper when my W says something that i disagree with or when i thing she says something outrageous 4. i tend to exaggerate at times and can be dramatic 5. prior to my W dropping the bomb i did not help out enough around the house with the cooking and cleaning..not fair to her since we both work.
Holy cow, I could have listed all of the above complaints about my H except for #5. And for me, #1 was the biggie. Once that was taken care of, the M moved forward DRAMATICALLY.
