Need Advice, WAW wants to give it a month

[trrose]

Alive, you wanted to know where my wife had beefs..

Here is where i feel i missed the boat

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.
