In my 7 years on the board, and studying thousands of troubled marriages, I have yet to see one salvaged by a spouse -- especially a man -- who was preoccupied with "she gets mad at me."
Just an observation. But an accurate one that you might want to consider.

I think you said this in some other form in another thread...that people are doing "what works"...but they misunderstand "what works" as what doesnt make their H/W mad.
And boy do I know my SO or what? I didnt answer...but she just called me and I'm assuming its about the tax document. I'm sad to say I almost hit my head on the ceiling from jumping so high when I heard my phone ring and saw it was her calling. My heart is still pounding a little.
Heres something I didnt mention earlier but am now to see if it makes a difference: When she gets all her tax documents together we are supposed to get our taxes done and split the money we get back based on claiming our D. My SO will likely be the one to claim her and we'll split her refund. Does that make a difference as to whether I should be answering her or not?
