  • I’ve asked for lists rather than her telling me tasks while I am busy, and then gets upset if I forget.

    My defense is that if I can’t make a physical note, and I likely will forget, then text me or write it down. She says I should just be able to remember.

    I agree that more details help with this. I had hoped someone would relate and share their experiences based on vague information.

    I’m working on a longer post and will post it tomorrow after I’ve had a chance to sleep, so that I can read it with a fresh perspective.


  • I found that therapists tend to focus on helping resolve her issues with me and disregard my issues with her, even if they are related. I haven’t felt heard in our therapy sessions. One therapist we tried even started our first session with a comment on how they generally agree with the wife.

    I think it is because my wife complains about common issues that women face. The problem is that her issues are overblown or untrue. She still gets sympathy and focus.

    My therapist has seen the cold side I see; however, no one else has. My sister-in-law is beginning to notice things, but she still suggests that I change, rather than asking her to.
