[QUOTE="krunchyfrogg, post: 5313416, member: 10107"] Again, thanks to all of your input and advice, everybody. I have a pretty good support system, if I ever call on it. I am usually too ashamed or embarassed to admit that anything is wrong. My Wife has nobody. Both parents passed long before I met her, she has an estranged brother, and a very elderly aunt. Update: We really, really had it out Saturday night. She had the idea that, after talking for a few hours, we could go out to dinner and just try to relax. I didn't think it was a good idea, but went along anyway. Big mistake. We ended up fighting in the restaurant, and before it became a big scene, I just walked out. It was cold and windy out, and I just started walking home (about 6-10 miles from the restaurant). I only left the car there because my Wife had the baby. If it had been just her and I, I would have taken the car at that point and left her there. I ended up getting picked up by the cops about 2.5 miles into my trek home. The cop took down my information and drove me to my car, wishing me the best. It was tough. I went home to find a chained door, and just turned around and left. A few hours later, we were texting each other (I prefer this to talking when I'm angry... you can formulate thoughts better and look back on exactly what you've said). Eventually, we agreed to do a therapy technique called "as if." "As if" encourages you to treat each other "as if" you've just met and are trying to impress each other. I don't know if this will work, but it has been a much better life for the both of us, starting on Sunday. I only hope it stays like this. [/QUOTE]
