[quote=Anonymous]OP, it seems to me that you two just plain have different communication styles.  I suspect you have a hard time reading your wife.  When she brings things up it may often be her just trying to connect with you but instead you are focused on the subject at hand — a complete communication miss  Often, it’s not even about the subject at hand, it’s about the connection.  If you are a factual, analytical person you may have some blindness to seeing another person’s perspective/motive.  You and your wife are simply puzzle pieces from two different puzzles.  Your communication just doesn’t have a natural flow.  Learn to let the little stuff go.

For example, with the cream:
“Yeah, honey, I think you look great.”  You don’t need to bring up that you disagree about the cream.

A word of advice:
“What counts in making a happy marriage is not so much how compatible you are, but how you deal with incompatibility.”

--- Leo Tolstoy, author of War and Peace and Anna Karenina[/quote]
