I can take that punch!

[Redo]

How well did you listen to and validate this? IMO she gave you some valuable information.

Good point. I did agree that i could have done things differently.

I don't think she wants to hear this. This sounds like an example of her complaint. Remember to be upbeat and positive around her. I'm sure it's likely the truth, but do you think she sees a strong and happy MK in this?

Yea I agree that she does not. I guess my thinking was that i would never be okay if my family was mistreated. Then if i suppressed this, then it would become passive aggressive which is no good either. I guess i am trying to figure out how to handle these things in future.

See for a long time after the whole blow-up with my parents happened, i thought i could wipe it away from memory and just be happy with wife. But it never was 'okay' and i suppressed those emotions. I guess that is why things went downhill for me emotionally. Cannot repeat that mistake again.

Don't own it... it's not yours...

So yes... this 2x4 brought to you by the number "stop analyzing her words" and the letter "believe none of what she says"...

Gotta keep repeating that to myself
