Guest Posted June 11, 2012 Report Posted June 11, 2012 Notice also that a lot of your wife's fears and anxieties surround how she appears to other people. And yet you have harassed her about her weight, and continue to shout out her weaknesses and quirks on the World Wide Web. Look in the mirror, dude. You're making the problems worse. She sounds like a normal person with normal imperfections to me. What do you suppose she'd say about you, given the opportunity to "vent"? I never, ever vent about my husband to other people. It's disrespectful to him, for one thing, and for another thing it amplifies my negative feelings toward him. What's really great is that the more I can overlook his shortcomings (and focus on fixing my own), the smaller they become, and the more good I see in him . The more I praise him to other people, the greater he becomes in my mind and heart, AND in reality. It's a beautiful thing.
EarlJibbs Posted June 11, 2012 Report Posted June 11, 2012 Sounds like me (the forgetful part), I have been known to place frozen items in the pantry instead of the freezer. My wife simple laughs at me and we move on. There may be underlying issues if there is the badgering that you get is constant. We are not much different from children you know. Children get angry if they are hungry, need attention about various things, missunderstood.... I think you need to address the problems with her and find out what it really is that is eating at her. I know these are not the responses you seem to be looking for. But there you have it.
pam Posted June 12, 2012 Report Posted June 12, 2012 I'm closing this thread as I feel it is just another venue to talk negatively about a spouse which is a pattern for OP on this site.
