[quote:Fun Skeptic:MV80NzUyOTE1Xzg2NTkzNDMxX0ZFNzMzMTg=] [quote:The_Meridian:MV80NzUyOTE1XzlFQTE4RDUz] All I want is serenity and day after day it's chaos, mostly on account of my severely emotional wife. She has to have blow-outs with children on a daily basis or she goes out of her way to misunderstand me so she can have a blow out with me. I work six days a week, physical labor. The 3 kids are 12 and under. She expects us all to satisfy an imaginary ideal world in which she fantasizes and cannot handle it when we act like human beings. How do you cope? I have dreams of meditation, fasting and enlightenment but instead I have crying, yelling, shouting, and drama everywhere I look and I have to spend 1/2 my day advocating for children. [/quote] Balance it out with your foot. Put it down where it really is. Listen to her but also call her out politely on the BS especially when it’s out of hand and let her know it’s driving you away. Remind her how hard you work not to expect that shit (in better words). Ask her (when she’s calmer) what the hell is on her mind to make her so emotional as you perceive it (in better words). Talk it out a litttle with her. If she’s relatively normal she’ll feel a little better before becoming emotional again, buying you time to have your peace before being reminded what you married in to. And have a beer. [/quote]
