YAH You're right in that more tact was required on my part, that being said she's vegetarian so she never would have tasted the eggs lol. Just frustrated knowing she's on yet another low episode caused inadvertently by me.
1. We are human beings. It took me may years and many mistakes, to learn important things. Some I am still learning. We all need to improve ourselves and our skills (GAL). Sometimes my hindsight is better than my foresight, but I am human. Don't blame yourself.
2. Your wife needs to learn not to assume you want to criticize her. (Maybe you need to make sure she doesn't assume you criticize her through lots of careful repetition.)
3. Just like with most marriages there is joint responsibility for the problems. One party may do something that enables the other, or they may not have done something that could have prevented the problem. At any rate, the event was more your responsibility than it was hers. As H&W you both own the fight.
It is a roller coaster and things will likely get better. If it were me I would focus on GAL and making her feel loved so she can grow through her MLC. Good Luck, enjoy the good times.
>43 years of marriage--My wife and I are now closer than we have been in decades. I believe that my SSM is over.
