Piecing - Round 2

[Denver_2010]

Uggg... after a very good, but very busy, few weeks, I am stumbling right now.

I still want to respond to so many of the posts on this thread as well as the one in newcomers that I posted 'in hindsight', I simply don't have the energy right now.

W and I were getting along great all through March. Just a very, very good month. She had a singing gig in Charlotte and I went with her. Good trip. I had a minor medical procedure the next week, she took care of me. Prior to that part, she and I really being close, emotionally, physically, everything.

So... earlier this week... a few days after my medical procedure. Issue comes up with step son. I discipline him for being disrespectful. I probably overreacted and responded too quickly without taking a breath and a minute to cool off. Nothing bad, just took away internet for the night and it is his spring break. W disagreed with me and essentially forced me to change my decision. She did not talk to me about her disagreement rationally, so it turned into an argument where I ended up just changing my decision on the internet for SS.

I felt undermined. I withdrew and just went to bed. W and I have not really spoken for three days. Now she's on her way to another gig in Arkansas for the weekend.

I get sick of always being the one who says that the argument is simply not worth it and just apologizing for the sake of getting things straight and preserving the marriage. I feel that i am always the one who does that. W sits back and waits for it.

At what point to I draw the line??

I know that I'm being a baby about this. I know that I'm being a typical male by withdrawing. But F*&K!

Very frustrated right now.
