You've already psychoanalyzed me without knowing the slightest thing about me and how I treat people. Only because I used the trigger word 'wounded'? Snowflakes galore over here - not so uncommon this day and age. Yes women don't let someone go for something minor if they're ok in their head. They ...

i found a website a while back that was kind of concentrating on the different personality tests available. http://similarminds.com/ one of the things noted is that personality tests are looking for patterns. they find clusters of people that share the same traits and kind of give a name to that. bu...

Talked to my wife, about these differences between us. Was not a pleasant conversation. Her logic is a bit skewed during her pregnancy, so it was very though going through these barriers. Went something like: -"I don't believe you are using your full potential. I think you are at 30 too depend...

to offer my own advice to the original poster if you're still out there somewhere. isn't really any different from what's already been said. but what i would say is that it seems like what you want out of life & what your wife wants out of life don't align very well. you seem to want a hard-work...

i didn't actually comment on the advice given at all.

i also don't exclude myself from that pattern of behavior by the way. am i wrong about that pattern of behavior?

Richard and Candid have gotten SO big during all their posts, they forgot about the humans with actual problems behind these posts. you're not wrong there. it's kind of a common thread of this place. when it's difficult to empathize with the original poster because they're perceived as being selfis...

i think most people are probably in one of these two states. but i could be wrong. a lot at any rate. for what is a healthy state. well there's the saying by cs lewis: "true humility is not thinking less of yourself, it's thinking of yourself less". or i guess here's a video by eckhart tol...

i would guess low self-esteem. a feeling deep down somewhere that i am not enough. i am wrong. i am to blame. some people have the opposite situation. a feeling deep down of i am right. others are to blame. others are wrong. others are lesser than me. what could have happened is that you are an indi...

you want your wife to be something she just isnt. it's almost like wishing a cat to be a dog.

No I don't watch him with it. He watches it alone. Sometimes he will watch it and not even tell me he is watching it cause he doesn't want me to be upset. This just makes me feel worse that he can't be up front with me. I never control him, I simply tell him how much it bothers me. But he still mak...

there seems to be this weird trend nowadays where people try to work out whether they match more with the female or male stereotype & then decide "well i'm actually a man trapped in a woman's body". or vice versa. not saying that this is you. but anyway, we all have some combination of...

that makes sense. parents can be annoying

also the difference between how you are feeling now & before could be that it didn't seem real before. just like an event that is happening in the far off future in your imagination. whereas now it feels a little more solid & like this is actually happening. but again, it'll be fine. it's la...

well it could be that you sort of feel like your failing. sometimes people would see it as a sign of weakness to go to therapist. or you could be afraid to unburden yourself and let out your inner most secrets to a stranger. it's pretty common that people would feel like this. you should be fine tho...
