[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Did I miss it? When was your wife lashing out? The examples you gave seem like reasonable responses to situations.[/quote] My husband can be like OP's wife. I think you get what you want by being civil and direct, not by being a jerk. It's stressful because it makes me look bad by extension , and causes our young child and I to feel we need to tiptoe around him if something isn't going his way. The negativity seeps throughout the household. I'd be angry in the restaurant situation, too. But not "beyond pissed." I'm not sure what that looks like for OP's wife, but once my dh made a fast food worker cry when they were slammed and taking forever, and got the order wrong. I was trying to calmly ask for a manager to sort it out. Dh was talking over me saying things like "why is this so hard for you?" I was so embarrassed. Anyway, op, tell your wife, in any touchy situation, that you'll take care of it. She'll see after a while that your method works and everyone's happier for it.[/quote]
