I'm really impressed, 1tash1 -- You've said that you're "impatient."  I think some of the problem has been that when she has spoken, perhaps you've "blurted" out things before she's done saying what she wanted to say, or maybe you've talked before you THOUGHT about what you SHOULD have said. Now you're REALLY listening to her, and you're HEARING what she's saying and that's a lot different than before. She may be saying the same things that she said before, but you didn't hear them.
That was a problem in my first marriage -- my husband never heard a thing I said -- or if he did hear them, he heard them the way he WANTED to hear them, but not what I REALLY said. 
Now you're learning how to really communicate and that's SO important in a marriage. You're getting to know each other all over again. 
This is really encouraging, and although it takes time, it's well-worth it.
Good for you 1tash1. You're making a lot of strides and things seem to be much better than when you first came here!!! God bless & keeping you in my prayers. Hugs, Lee
