    Married a long time. Wife has always been a careful cook due to her family history of diabetes, but she doesn't have it. She's very supportive of my MFP requirements and our meals are constantly getting healthier as I share my chart readings and weight loss progress with her.

    Pottery barn sells it assembled for 1400$

    My wife located the supplier and they sell it in pieces for about 300 and no wonder why it costs that much. It was hard effing labour and my FIL is more versed in this kind of stuff. By myself, I cannot install this...

    Very well done!

    That's very difficult. I mean, we all have issues, bad moments, fights (unfortunately almost always about something unimportant in reality and we were just tired or something). That's extreme to actually cause damage, though. That's never happened with us. I wouldn't bounce back from that very well if I had caused damage. I would have trouble forgiving myself. I try so much to be kind to my husband. But, occasionally I still have a difficult moment (for me it's always because of being very tired). So, I try to take care not to get so tired and stressed. But, life is hard sometimes. The thought of hurting my husband long term or him not being able to forgive me is a very painful thought, fear, concern. I try to make sure that in all my good moments I tell him (and show him) how much I love and appreciate him and what I adore about him both as a person and physically. Because I never want those good things to go unsaid. I want him to feel good about himself and in our marriage and family and to feel loved and appreciated. Home should be the retreat from the stress of work. I want the good to always outweight the rare difficult moments. We don't have many difficult moments now in our mature 30's. But, I had a few in our 20's. So, I did my own work on healing and growth and managing emotions. It would be good if she (or both of you) could maybe do some stuff on your own like anger management and therapy type of things (or just introspection or a workbook of some sort) and together to heal the hurt from the times that wrong was done or wrong things were said. Sorry you are going through this. Sorry you feel these strong and difficult feelings. I hope you two can mend these wounds together. Everytime a tense moment happens I spend a while thinking about why it happened and what I can do to prevent it or be prepared to handle it better if a moment like that happens again. You will get through this. ♥

    Hey, nice work on the light fixture! Those things are hard to install but it looks great!

    Tough to follow a job well done with a spat like that. Sometimes relationships send us such random directions. Keep your head up and focus on what your goals are for each other. The hardest things to let go of can be some of the smallest slights. Don't really have advice for you as we all deal in our own ways. Good luck though

    Well, my wife once accused me in a fight that the only reason I'm trying to lose weight is so I can weigh less than her. That one caught me off-guard. She'll also say "now that you're 'Mr. Fitness'..."

    Love it -- you people who have been married forever. You are great examples for the rest of us. (We two just celebrated our 29th anniversary. I can hardly believe it has been this long -- doesn't seem like it.
