B,

A serious question for you....Have you ever been tested for Autism, specifically Asperger's disorder? I am curious...My son has it and in my readings on him....You seem to show a lot of the characteristics. It isn't a bad thing, just a thing to be aware of.

- A sarcastic comment taken out of context....There isn't much to do on that one.

- Home gym....I like that you got it and your thinking behind why was well thought out. We have also talked about finances before and your wife's perception on that in accords with yours. Your talk reiterated our conversations....You might want to review your thinking on finances again....There is a difference between frugal and responsible.

- Cleaning....She expressed her feelings...Not a lot there. Basically you can't win type statement.

- Haircut...You like it and that is what matters. She is just pulling you down from your high...Basic stuff for the other spouse in our world.

-Moving out....Well played...You are learning from us LOL

Sounds like you did a fine job in the conversation. Listen, validate, express your thoughts...Well done. I like how you took ownership of your communication issues, explained (the writing) how you are trying to be better at it. Good stuff.

- Asthama...First I know you love S6 as much as the other kids, but beware that at times people might not see that. That isn't a you thing....That is other people things and a great time to validate with understanding. Know that you love him and that is what counts.

- Speech...First I am concerned for your son. My son has a lisp at times. Yes I do tell him to speak up and through it, but one thing I have caught on to. When he is having social problems at school the lisp becomes significantly worse. I suggest instead of punishing him for the lying, go another route. Talk with him about how the two of you can work together on his lisp. When he trusts you, the lying will stop.....but first he has to trust that you will listen without judgement.
