Men can talk to other men in ways that are interpreted entirely differently when said to a woman. And I've realized that if I want to live a peaceful life with my wife, I've got to learn that I can't talk to her the way I do to my co-workers.

So yeah i can definelty relate and i think you are exactly right ...my talking to her like that fuels her self doubt that she might have about anything simple or something complex, but yeah i feel bad sometimes about it too,, but then i think some things she asks me are completely retarded...but you have made me feel like i shouldn't talk down on her like that.......peace man you are a good teacher and person.
