[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I do not. But I think it is healthy to have somewhere that you can complain about your spouse. If it truly hurt your feelings though say something. One of the things DH and I came to terms with quite a few years ago is to always say something. Even if you think you are over reacting, say something. It is better to let her know how you feel and get it out on the table than to hold it in and let it fester and she continue to do the thing that bothers you (because she has no idea you are upset).[/quote]

+1 [b]DH and I never share anything negative about each other (or the kids) to any of our close friends[/b].  I am amazed how much my friends will complain about their husbands. According to DH none of his friends ever talk negatively about their wives either.[/quote]

That makes me sad for you! That sounds isolating. Genuine sharing, of the highs AND the lows, is how you get close to people. It's invaluable to my mental health, I can't imagine having to be careful to closely censor myself to my best friends. Do you not trust your close friends? [/quote]

PP, I'm actually sad for [i]you[/i] (not the person you're responding to) if you think this is a normal way for married couples to behave. It sounds like you and your close friends don't have much self-esteem.[/quote]
