Kevin,

Sorry my cold made it too hard to talk on the phone. Listen, your W has no right to just go off on you. First things first, you need to learn to cut her off, but politely.

"If all you want to do is yell then you can call back when you get yourself together and we can have a respectful conversation." One warning. Then say goodbye.

Find another way to deal with your frustrations, otherwise they are boiling just below the surface ready to come out at any moment. We talked about the OM thing. I know its a biggie, especially since your D was aware of it. But bringing it up in the heat of the moment didn't do either of you any good.

Find a punching bag, go for a walk, lift weights - something else other than spewing it to her when she's yelling at you.

Again, she has no right to go off on you all the time. She will respect you when you demand respect. Getting off the phone before you spew back also shows her respect.

Bottom line - its best for your girls, too.
