I feel like alot of times when I try to express my feelings to my wife, she takes them as a insult or accusation of how she is treating me. And I've told her that I just want her to listen and say, ok. I hear you. Then after a while I just don't want to share any more. Then sometimes she dumps her feelings on me and I listen politely. Sometimes, too, when I'm feeling brave enough to share, she just never gives me a chance. I don't want to ask any more, so I just wait for her to say, "how do you feel about issue x?", but she hardly ever does any more.

So, I'm just venting to you guys, now because I need an outlet. Last night she was upset but wouldnt give me a chance to talk. She just talked and then said goodnight. Then she said she couldn't sleep so I offered to play a new song I heard on my phone. It was an upbeat song, but as I was playing it, tears started flowing down my face. She didn't see them because the lights were out. I cried in silence until the song was over. She said thank you and went back to bed. I wish I could share my feelings with her.
