Yesterday evening, my wife said that I looked upset and asked if I wanted to talk. I replied, "I'm not upset, but I do enjoy talking to you".
She comes into our bedroom, sits on the chair (I was on the bed). She then starts her interrogation into what was bothering me. Nothing was.
She insists, "I've known you for many years. I can see it in your face". Then still persists, "Swear on your children's lives that nothing happened today that is making you upset".
It's as if she's getting upset because I'm not upset, or the fact that my words didn't match up to her perceptions of my feelings.
I told her, "Please don't try to tell me what I feel".
Then she went on the offensive, saying things like:
"Don't think my parents side with you. They want us to split up. They don't believe you're a fit husband for me."
"Let me make it clear, I don't want to see your brother's wife. She is an outsider to me. As a matter of fact, I don't want to see your brother either."
I didn't reply much to any of this. I simply nodded and indicated that I understood.
