Where I was coming from MZ:

Quote:

Realizing the most difficult part of this journey is before me. I'll need to face some things that I've been avoiding in myself.


If you and your husband are indeed piecing, or just starting too, or you are even thinking you are and now is the time you start facing your demons, or making changes....its going to make piecing that much harder.

Some changes? Some that involve him, you had to wait for. Other's internal? Not so much.

You want some help in piecing? Its free and easy.

My wife needs to have more sex with me. And not get upset when I play video games.



...


Need...its a funny word.

Why does my wife NEED to do that?

How is that different than:

Quote:

He needs to stop assuming I'm against him or telling him what to do when I speak my thoughts out loud.


Maybe you both should work on meeting these wants. When you do speak your thoughts outloud? Let him know what your doing. OR... try not to do it so much.

If it is a button, or something that bugs him, he should just...toughen up? Get used to it? Shouldn't you someone who loves him try to assuage him?

My wife has this habit of speaking aloud also.

"Who left the cabinet door open?"

Well its 11 oclock at night and our boys are asleep. It could have been them. But more than likely it was me. But you know what? It could have been her.

Guys most guys like direct.

"Did you leave the cabinet door open?"

"Yes...I am sorry."

Instead:

"Who left the cabinet door open?"

Now its a game that I don't like playing.
