Wife Complaining: How to be more sensitive?..

[krnyc2008]

I am not comfortable answering this question on a public forum, esp since I met some members in person.

But I am am curious why you are asking me this now versus 3 years ago when I first started posting.

Do tell your theory

[Black_Swan]

Probably thinks the answer is the same. Zing!

[higgmond]

^ Well, same plus 3 years.

So the wife was moaning last night… she’s upset coz she’s not feeling well, she doesn’t like her well paid job and she wants to go on holiday again and a few other private things which I guess have been getting her down lately.

She starts telling me all this stuff and I tell her to go to the Dr if you’re sick, be grateful she’s got a job and roof over her head and stuff like that. I was extremely practical and told her how to fix her issues. I then said that she shouldn’t let the weight of the small pressures overbear her and put her in misery as it has a snowball effect. I probably also said something like that it isnt a big deal and get over it…millions of women go through this sort of stuff all the time…

Anyway she told me how insensitive I was and that i don’t listen and i’m rubbish at this, that, the other. So I asked her how to be more sensitive and she told me she wouldn’t tell me , which is why i’m here asking my CFA brethrans.

How do you be more sensitive when a woman is moaning about her life?..

thanks

peace!

Few other private things? This seems important. It sounds like what she is unhappy with is you.

How on earth would that be possible?

[Sweep_the_Leg]

Really, you’ve met some AFers? I recall you saying you’d never meet anyone. I’m envious.

As for my science project…I’ll release the results when I’m finished.

Don’t be envious. Come to NYC and we’ll go out for coffee. Make sure to look like Christian Bale

Dude?!! Srs?.

Just that i dont want to talk about the personal things in my life on an open forum doesn’t mean we’re in an unhappy relationship or someone is shagging the postman…

Do you want sympathy or an objective outside perspective and honest feedback on your situation? Never said someone is shagging the postman but its funny that you go there.

[pokhim]

i don’t get it. I said ‘some private things’ and you inferred that she’s unhappy with me? It’s private from this forum…but not private between me and the wife…

Srs dude. Tell me about ur mother.

Srs dude. Seems like lack of sensitivity is not the problem.

Anyway, I’ll just leave this here and check out from the conversation.

… though I am interested in hearing KR’s response to STL’s side topic. That probably deserves it’s own thread.

[KMeriwetherD]

I don’t understand how STL could have a theory about AF women. There is a sample size of about 3.

I don’t drink coffee so we’ll have to make it vodka. Let’s go to that pizza place you mentioned a while back.

And, I’ve been a bit gluttonous recently so I’m more like Christian Bale from American Hustle than American Psycho. Still have great hair though.

I don’t remember which pizza I mentioned before but Rubirosa on the lower east side is my favorite right now… But who drinks vodka with pizza???

Haha as long as not the one from “Machinist”

Postman Pete is an asshole.

Agreed. The postman is clearly ringing twice.
