sandi,

"She will probably always say there's nothing wrong. Typical female answer."

Funny thing is I called and talked to her before I got your response. I told her that I may not be the smartest guy around, but I recognize when my wife is hurting. I told her that it must have been extremely difficult for her yesterday (Mother's Day) and that if she had a problem or was bothered about something that she could always open up to me about it.

I told her that in the past when she had a problem that I could see, I should have been more persistent and made more of an effort to see to her needs. I mentioned that she is my wife and it is my job as her husband to take care of her and her needs.

In the end I just said that I'd be there if she needed me to do something or even if it's just to have someone to complain to, I'm there to just listen.

In the end she said "thank you".''

So how did I do? When you said that saying nothing is wrong is the "typical" female answer, is there anything that they "expect" the H to do or respond? I remember you said your H doesn't open much himself, so you understand how it is to change lifelong habits such as opening up.
