Well today folks - it seems I have the ability to irritate the wife in the manner that I did before BD. Not sure why, not sure what I am doing that is different. But lesson of the day - learn to STFU. The W is doing things while I talk, not looking up, not responding other than nods or shakes of head - almost like a grumpy teenager.
So new 180 - Don't create issues out of nothing or anticipate future issues. I've always been one to worry about things that might happen and try and think ahead to avoid these things. Seems that has become sticking point in our M.
Relax, stop talking, don't walk on egg shells when trying to talk to wife about things that could be an issue. I need to be assertive and say what I think needs to be done.

I feel like I'm in thick forest, I'm slowly drawing a map of the way out, but not sure yet which side of the forest I will emerge.
