At it again after 14 years

[Again18]

Spoke to my wife this morning about incident involving my daughter and her perception that I didn't handle it correctly. I explained the details and then told her I don't appreciate the lack of grace and understanding I deserve for situations that arise suddenly and unexpectedly . That I'm the one that was considered at fault for a misunderstanding when it was my D17 who failed to communicate with me what she needed or wanted.She seemed to understand. I reiterated some of my concerns about how things are handled in our marriage and how they need to improve, not blaming or criticizing her, telling her these are things I need to do for myself. In the end it was a nice conversation. We seem at this point to be on a track of trying to put our marriage on the right track. I do know this, I still need to continue to detach not expect miracles and to back off a bit and give her space whether she knows it or not. I'm reading this book "No More Mister Nice Guy" wow I have to say I definitely fit this bill. I have a lot of work ahead of me to improve myself for sure. PMA and GAL.
