Need a pick me up

[RonD]

Burt,

I haven't read your entire sitch but have a thought. If she thinks you are being mean, controlling and putting her down, maybe you are. Obviously she thinks so, so maybe it's worth exploring where she is coming from.

That was the single biggest problem with my marriage but it took a divorce to hammer it home to me. With hindsight, I can see exactly where my wife was coming from. Changing that aspect of my personality has made all the difference in the world for us. Worth investigating, I think.
