In Limbo

[d1adsl5a]

It has been such a good week. Haven't really had an argument at all. Been acting happy(and actually being happy sometimes) all week. Even had a good day today. Went and bought a tv with the wife and kids. The one in our(her) room broke. Took them out to dinner. My W is going out tonight with her Divorce pals. On the way home, the kids were bugging her and me quite a bit in the car just carrying on. Trying to empathize with her, I said that I bet you can't wait to go out tonight. That threw her into a rage....I said why don't we talk about how that made you feel instead of yelling at me. That is the thing that didn't work before. You yell, your issue doesn't register with me, I try to calm you down.

Then I get, I am still sarcastic all the time. She defines my sarcasm is making a joke to try and lighten the mood.

She is angry that I have made a big deal about her going out all the time--I wanted to say something there, but I didn't.

She is angry that she is unhappy in the marriage..

I was like she was waiting for me to say something the wrong way so she can pounce on me...

I am tired of this too...Tired of being yelled at. I am not the punching bag for her problems..
