Lillieperl thanks for the reply. Yes, sometimes I do empathize. Sometimes I say nothing and get accused of not caring. Wish I could discover when to and when not to xyz or what ever. I do not want to be right and lose.
My wife ask direct questions so I reply as I see the situation. After she asks, she often does the opposite of what I think is the proper way to go. My frustration level is higher now so I am being more direct with my W. Too much pussy footing around and not getting anywhere. Sorry for the down stuff. DBing has been trying.
OG Lou Maybe I should just say yup or nop or is that Yes mam, or no mam, maybe nothing. That is wrong too.
