Hairy, How does your wife react to television in general?
I ask because I can't watch it without feeling emotionally overwhelmed. I don't watch much but I especially avoid scary or gory stuff. Anyway, my point is that I would have come to bed hot under the collar as well. Now whether that's due to my upbringing or being a foofighter or full of baloney, I don't know. But I get much too involved in TV when I watch it. It's really a sensory thing...almost like I start living what I see. I avoid going to the movie theater altogether for this reason. Too stimulating and overwhelming. I read Corri's Indigo Adult description with interest and much of it applied, with the glaring exception of Einstein-like-smarts. LOL
Anyway, could your wife have some of these tendencies?
Ultimately, it is up to her to grow up a little and stop blaming everyone else for her reactions, but I thought it might help you in the meantime to know that her violent reactions may have more to do with what she watches than what you've done.
Finally, something to REALLY crack you up:
I actually turned down MrH for sex a couple weeks ago because..............are you ready for this...........wait for it...........I got too wound up watching Masterpiece Theater.
