Quote: It's hard though to sit there and listen to so much negativity. After about 15 minutes of all my awful traits being listed, I call a halt and ask well what is your solution to the problem or what can I do different? He says leave me alone or give me the divorce are his solutions to the problems. He withdraws rather than try to fix the problem.
What if you didn't get into this circular conversation with him. In a loving way tell him that you are sorry he feels that way and that you are not as bad as all that, and you would welcome a constructive conversation about this. And then LEAVE him alone. Just walk away, go inot the next room, load the dishwasher. Go shopping, go for a drive. whatever works.
