Relationship It's Really Nothing New

[Never_falter2]

There have been threads galore about this....
My guy came home yesterday and one of the first things he did was complain. I put something in the wrong place again. I just AM like this. I did not do it on purpose. I never do it in order to annoy him but I do not want to walk on eggshells around him. He did not do anything bad, just complained, but I just wish he would not be so negative. I did not do anything bad.

Have you tried talking to him and explaining your feelings and that it's just your way of doing things?

Well. I just gave up on that.
My children are sick and I had a lot of other things to do and I just ignored him.

Sometimes its better to just ignore. I hope things get better for you ^^

It's so hard for me to handle the feelings I get when my hubby is negative or critical. I am very fortunate that he is rarely either of those things. His easy going nature is definitely good for me, but when he is negative or critical I can barely contain the avalanche of emotions and I literally feel as if there's danger and I desperately try to fix things. If I can't fix things by talking to him I throw myself into a physical activity like cleaning or going outside to bounce on the trampoline. This helps sometimes, and other times I just cry. Have you ever noticed what helps? Distraction maybe?

I hope you feel better and that you find your way with this. I know that it's so hard and scary too at times.
