I've worked real hard to keep it under control. There is one issue though that keeps popping in our marriage that pushes me to the edge. My wife can't contol her spending. We have enojugh money for some extras but we can't live like rich people. Almost every month when I open the credit card statement, I find several hundred dollars of charges that are unnecessary. ...

Before her mother and I divorced, I'd say we had a better than average relationship. We communicated and connected on many fronts. Now her mother has made it her mission in life to get our daughter to hate me as much as she does. She is a very vindictive woman and has put lots of poison into my daughter's mind. I wasn't an awful husband but I admit that we weren't a good match either. But its not like I abused her or had affairs or anything ...

They fought all the time and they were loud. I have had a couple of episodes where I have yelled at my husband over minor things and he is baffled. He is sweet and tries to be a calming influence. I'm working on being fair when we have conflicts but I find it is harder than I once imagined. Would be interested in hearing how others have learned to tame their tempers.

What she doesn't understand is that she is so consistently argumentative and confrontational that no one likes being around her. She's just plain mean. I gave up years ago trying to reason with her because it's like trying to reason with a child who is determined to have a tantrum. I'm just hanging onto the marriage until the kids leave home, and I'll be out of here so fast she won't know which way is ...

He can be a nice guy, but he can go off about the smallest of things. I have lived in fear for the last 10 years. Since then he has gone to counseling, which has shocked me. He read Dr. Carter's book The Anger Trap. He is really a lot calmer most of the time. He's still in counseling and he says he'll do whatever it takes to prove that he wants to get over his past problems. He's not putting any pressure ...
