I like to think I’m a good wife. A pretty good wife anyway.

I’m a SAHM, but I clean the house, do the laundry, make sure my husband always has clean clothes, and food to eat when he comes home. I care for our son.

But I also nag. And I’m aware that I do it, but I’m one of those people that bottles every negative feeling up inside until I can’t hold anymore and then I explode. Sometimes it’s crying and sometimes it’s yelling, depending on if the last negative feeling was sadness/hurt or anger. And I take it out on my husband.

I don’t mean to, but he is usually the one giving me all of the negative feelings. Like ‘joking’ about leaving, or ‘joking’ about how horrible dinner tastes, or ‘joking’ about how he wanted to wear the LIGHT blue shirt to work, not the DARK blue. And calling me names, ‘jokingly’ of course.

I’m trying to be better. I try to realize he’s kidding and not take things to heart. I’m trying.
