Jo I am happy I did not hit a raw nerve with the joke.
Sorry to hear you are having a row with your H.
Quote: But when I got up this morning I thought how he never said goodnight and I am caught between wanting to go dark and wanting to make amends.
Your H sounds a little like me. I want to voice my opinion, W sees things differently, we disagree, I don't know what to say. I get wery quiet so I don't say the wrong thing or anything I might regret later.
Jo, you might just ask how he is feeling about the discussion. Nothing to do with who is right or wrong. You might say you are feeling a little lost as what to say for yourself right now.
No going dark or no amends either. Just say you like where you were a couple of days ago when there was good feelings between you and him.
I can't think of much more but I might agree with Elie if you want to lighten the pressure about issues with your mother.
MY W is on a spending mode again. I am having a difficult time being around her. I am not telling her what I think about her lastest purchases so have a lot of resentments that I am holding in. Like Ellie said, guys get quiet and go to their cave when they can't deal with things. W not talking either.
My car bumper sitcker feelings for the hour is "Wife for sale cheap, take over payments."
Jo Don't let the above get you down. I Just had to write it down. You have enough to do getting your family back together.
