It doesn't. I've just been working so hard at home to not talk about the R (or more likely, put my foot in my mouth) that I'm worried that I'll drop my guard in MC, and she'll see how badly I want to make this work.

And it doesn't help that our MC is telling us that we need to talk about things more; despite the fact that at home this make my wife very uncomfortable. That might be due to me not just listening and validating her concerns.
