Anyone ever get to the point where they feel that there are so many do's and don'ts when it comes to interacting with their spouse that it is easier just to avoid all interaction?

I feel like I am stuck in this strange place. I am scared that I am going to say the wrong thing, or not be detached enough, or look at him wrong, so I try not to have any contact with him at all. How do I get past this?

We were supposed to have a "meeting" tonight to discuss my son's birthday and Christmas. I came home (he was in his cave, like always) and he has not come out. He was on the phone with his oldest son who is 22- I could hear bits and pieces of the conversation, as his room is right above mine and his voice travels through the air vents. What I did hear was him blaming everything on me. I have not contacted any of his older children, because it is not my place. It just hurts that I am getting blamed for his actions.

I am just feeling pretty sad tonight. This roller coaster ride stinks! frown
