"I want...", "We need...", "I know it would be a step back..."

It has been a very tough day and I am at my wits end. I need to talk to my wife.


I'm sorry as I know how tough it is. But you don't 'need' to, you 'want' to. You can control this. It's time to take control of your impulses.

Are you sure about this? How will this work out for you if she doesn't want to talk to you or if she says something you don't want to hear?
