[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She has anxiety. Nothing can just be, they have to be able to assign blame to someone they personal connected to.  That way they can harp on it or use it against you.  That is their defensive mechanism. They are so afraid of messing something up that all of the mistakes are yours, that way nothing can ever be their fault or screw up.[/quote]

Maybe read OP's update. The DW has cooled off and recognized she was pi$$ed at the situation and not at OP. They need to learn not to let this become a pattern, sure, but your knee-jerk, armchair diagnosis doesn't seem to be needed, doc. [/quote]

Regardless of the wife’s later corrective statement  the original reaction is indicative of high anxiety and I will stick by my armchair diagnosis.  I can guarantee you in the moment and hours afterwards her mind was going a million miles hour working through every worst case scenario and what the negative impacts in the next two minutes  and up to a year from now.
