Dear IHJ,

Thanks. I feel better now, but the crisis is not over. Her attitude on the rare occasions that I do get angry about something is, "What a hassle." She tries to change the subject. In fact, while I was typing this letter, she called to tell me about something having to do with taxes. I didn't let her play her game. I wanted to know why she wouldn't sleep with me. There was dead air for over 20 minutes.

I told her that I am not coming home tonight. She wasn't happy about it, but it didn't get her to talk.

Paul
