You need to find another outlet to air your thoughts and feelings, someone you can call 24x7, then do your talking to them instead.

What your going through and thinking about must come out, but *cannot* come out with your spouse!

You need to mentally prepare for your conversations and prepare some escape phrases for yourself if you start getting sucked in. Something like "hey, I'm supposed to be meeting up with some friends in a few minutes and don't want to be late, can we continue this another time?"

Most importantly, understand and convince yourself of the damage you are doing by getting into these conversations.

It's very difficult to practice self control and requires discipline. You need to prepare your exits in advance.

I'm sure URworthy has more good stuff for you!
