[quote=Anonymous]This is a high stress time in your life, so of course your patience is worn thin. That's to be expected. The good news is that you have the self-awareness to see that the knee-jerk "ugh my husband did this to us" is not based in reality. Circumstances did this to you. The old company did this to you. Getting upset with yourself for having negative emotions doesn't help anyone. Be kind to yourself. You're under pressure. And be kind to your husband. He's under pressure too. Try practicing words of affirmation . . . tell him when you notice how well he's doing or how hard he's trying. Tell him you appreciate him. And also tell him that you're scared and frustrated. Not at him. You're a team. But it's OK to verbalize what's hard. It's OK to tell him that you appreciate him and then say, "I need to hear that you appreciate how hard I'm trying too." [/quote]
