My wife's midlife crisis

[Gordie]

Struggling to accept

Yes we all do

And it is a process and takes time

Like grief you need to let you feel all the other steps life anger before you get to acceptance

And your view of the happier vs sadder times is true for you

But it as if your w lived a different marriage

She is seeing and feeling something different very different and incomprehensible

I am less good at validating than others around here

But I have learned to be a good listener even when I am hearing crazy but not attacking I have learned to patiently listen so she feels heard

No need for me to agree but also no need for me to disagree just listen
