Need some examples PLEASE?!

I gave you the example above... you asking your W is there anything you can do. Now it is up to her to answer/provide you with info/communicate with you or not.

The reason I continue talking about your W's health issues is because as you may have read on various threads I have SLE (systemic lupus) which is a chronic and incurable disease. The physical pain, sleep issues and fatigue can be nothing short of life altering and debilitating. I understand (now more than ever) the toll it can take on a marriage for both the person suffering and the other spouse.

In an eight year span I went to the doctor 96 times with the same complaints. I understand not being able to get a proper diagnosis and living in what feels like hell.

I think you will fare better if you learn to use your resources. And I am a resource for a person who lives with a very, very painful disease and one that went through hell getting a diagnosis. If you don't want to talk about it with me that is fine but there are plenty of people who can relate and you should be talking to them.

You have been given some heavy hitting responses for when your W chooses to grunt at you. W: please stop making noises to communicate with me. It is disrespectful to me and I no longer will respond to grunts or moans as a form of communication.

If she doesn't like it.. tough! Physical pain is not an excuse for being a mute.
