"I have found that telling my wife: "I'm begining to feel like the low man on your totem pole." Seems to work wonders, no fighting words, no accusations, just how I feel."
I have done this both in RL and in C. My words just don't seem to be heard. She says she understands in C.. but that does not translate to RL.
"Oh I really don't think your bitter Forrest. I wonder a little if your screwing around."
I will assure you I am not screwing around. I know my post came at a weird time and that it could be me just trying to get things going around here again. This is not the case. I have always said I was a newcomer. I still stand by that. I can "fix" the people that post here. Even if it in only 1% of them. Beyond that.. I am "hopeless"..
"THAT gets a little tiring, but not enough."
But Jack.. what has really been presented to me beyond the stuff I have posted about. I understand that my situation my have you flustered.. and not knowing what to say. But I am really thinking there is a step above. Maybe I am wrong in thinking that.. but it is how I feel. I mean if I throw in SmartCookie or LostPhil.. I am not "fighting" it. I am not telling you that you are wrong or banning you from my post. I just have not read anything that I have not tried. I have even tried ignoring things.. just to see what might happen.
"You don't like your reality? Change the way you look at it."
The reality is I want my wife to see the value that I bring to the R. I want her to understand that I can see both sides. I want her to see the reality of me not walking away.
What about that should I change?
