And one small 'positive' thing - wife complained today that I do not do enough housework, that what I did was sub-par, and that 'it won't be that way in the future'. The emotional discharge was good for her, and I validated, then cleaned/cooked for an hour. I suppose starting one's day by cleaning for a while is not a bad idea.
Still not thinking this will fix things, of course, but in its small way it was good.
