Well i'm here again. You can look up my history, I am still working out of town. My wife has been in a really bad mood lately. She tells me she is not happy, she feels like I dont show her love. She calls me at work at least 10 times a day on my cell phone and if I dont answer she gets mad. If I try to hang up before her, she gets mad. I am getting fussed at lately for anything I do, or dont do. I work out of town and go home on Wed nite and Friday afternoon every week. She has made me give her my work email so she can check up on me. If my phone rings when I am home I have to answer for it. I have a job that requires me to be on the phone a lot. I feel like I am under a spot light all the time. I cannot stand staying on the phone at nite for hours and I cannot hang up first because she feels I am rejecting her, yet she doesnt say anything on the phone. I realize she has a lot of work to do at home with the kids. I am constantly getting fussed at, frankly I dont want to call her bec. I know I will get fussed at for some reason, if the kids did something during the day she didnt like it is my fault. I am really getting tired of all of this. I am thinking of leaving. I really dont want to because of the kids but I dont know what else to do. I am not the one that cheated on her, she cheated on me, but one would think it is the other way around. We went with two other couples for the 1st and I heard her tell her girlfriend who asked how our weekend was that she realized we wernt the only couple that had disagreements. I thought that would have helped but this morning on my way to work, when I called, {because I have to call first, if I dont that means I don't love her} she hung up on me when after we talked about my ride to work, I said that I was at work and I would call her later. What is up with all of that. I feel like I am bieng treated like a child. She is pushing me away with all of the bitching and complaining. She is one of the most negaitive people that I know. I dont know what to do anymore.

What are your reply phrases, when you feel she is being excessively demanding or complaining unreasonably?

How can you take an attitude of grtatitued?

To be honest I really dont say much because any thing I say will be wrong. I dont tell her how crazy I think she is or what I think, I get quiet.
