Thanks for commenting. Sounds like our spouses are eerily similar. I just read your thread and it really seems that you are doing great! Just keep doing it. I intend to. I am going to wait until this afternoon to call him. I just don't feel it would be beneficial at this point. Their anger and frustration is with him. If I try to facilitate anything it just seems as though I am instigating and trying to influence their feelings. Or at least that is how he might see it and I don't want the anger and drama. His pattern has been to listen for a bit then when he gets angry he will blow up and begin shouting at everyone else about starting an argument. When in reality it is he that is blowing up so he can leave and not have to face what is going on. I just don't have the energy for that tonight or really any other night.
