I’m looking for a hole to crawl in today.

When coffee finished brewing I brought my wife a cup and cinnamon roll for her to enjoy in bed. She asked me, “What are your dreams?”. I said, “No dreams, just nightmares”. Now she’s crying because she thinks it’s her fault because of her poor health and failing memory. I really need to think before speaking.

Or...

she needs to stop judging and keep talking.

By doing twhat- sjes actually placing emotional guilt on you.

@OogieBoogie We always have tried to be honest about our feelings in this relationship. And I have been open and honest in the fact that I will honor my vows, better or worse and sickness and health, but I also have wants and needs.

@SageWanderer we've been thru this conversation before.

And it's still the same statis quo as it was years ago .

If you want change....you have to make it .

@OogieBoogie Yes and Covid has put a damper on that but trying to be patient and hope for the future. Today was just one of those days.
