"Complaining is forbidden"

I am off track here, but I am just curious, did you wife feel like complaining was forbidden to her as well?

I am not a complainer per say, but sure I do it every now and then to vent off some steam. I think everyone does.

Do you think your wife might have not communicated problems and vice versa because it might have misinterpreted as "complaining"?

I am pretty sure I held everything back because I didn't want to be a "complainer" In turn not expressing myself left me resentful and many issues unresolved.

Just something to ponder.
