[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This discussion is no different than habing a husband eho complaind about your cooking.

The OP would argue that they should sit down and discuss recipes and ingredients and salting food to taste.  All about what she should be doing.

The wife would say then you cook dinner ornim not cooking.

Then he would call her immature for disengaging.

Oh for God's sake. No, I'm co-planning recipes with my wife. She cooks some of the time, and I like her meals, and I eat whatever she serves, and enjoy it, and say thank you. I cook sometimes, she eats what I cook, and usually doesn't complain. In most respects, our relationship is "normal" and functioning well.

But when it comes time to discuss something significant, the wheels sometimes come off. And no, my list of "significant" items is not a mile long -- it is pretty damn short. I think a husband and wife need to be able to discuss key issues without the wheels coming off. If what you are telling me is that I can't discuss a damn thing with my wife, because not a damn thing in life is significant -- every last aspect of life is trivial and inconsequential -- then I'm perplexed, because the couples that I know seem to do just fine discussing the very same stuff that I'd like to discuss with my wife.

I recall the first time the wheels came off. And I should have thought more carefully about the situation, but I dismissed it as a one-time case. It involved her traveling to the third world while she was pregnant, to a country she had never visited before, and where she had no friends or connections. I was a bit worried and wanted to talk through the situation with her, and she got extremely angry. All I wanted to do was talk about the situation, for Christ's sake.
