this is so true, and the more I read the more I realise what's been going on all these years, but... there's nothing wrong with
him and
he doesn't need any counselling...and so it goes.

Quiet periods are in themselves disquieting because you know they will not, cannot last and the waiting is maddening instead of healing.

Thanks - I grew up in a household like that, and that's why I really hate it now. Soem people enjoy conflict; I never have. Chalk and cheese.

Gripping. I'm sure this speaks to a lot of people.
Especially those of us who grew up in a house of discord. thanks for sharing it!

no, you did read it right, on many counts, and I am always much, much happier when I am alone. I need space now and then, so that I can right myself. He would save a lot of counselling bills if he would stop telling me I'm the awkward one. Ho-hum.

Bless you for your comments and your sincerity. I do have a problem with the L word being used when there is so much noise some of the time.

thanks for your comment - when you are going through a bad patch it sometimes feels like you are the only ones, but I suppose it happens everywhere. I do welcome the quiet when it's there. It's keeping it quiet that's the problem.

mneme...you write beautifully...this one pulled on my heartstrings. I kept
thinking...peace at what cost? As long as you're alone? as long as you make no demands? as long as he calls all the shots?...maybe I'm reading something into this that isn't here...this always makes me so emotional. I've been there... done that, didn't like it one bit! I think you deserve to be happy too....walking on eggshells to achieve peace and harmony is sacrificing your harmony, I think.

I agree with Tony; many of us, men & women, are impulsive-compulsive with
family members. I can say though I have changed for the better, ten years ago, I would break into preaching and scolding...I thought I was helping my family. I knew I was doing it because I cared...the breakthrough, hard to come, was when I saw LOVE does not excuse impoliteness and harsh words. Gld for the peace, any how any time. Alelujah!
TREFOIL!

Hi mneme - it's amazing how quickly we can revert to happiness, i agree
I've been in similar situations. When our partners are OK, it's like a massive weight off our shoulders.

If only peace like that could last longer than an "interlude"......
