I am the loneliest married woman in the world. I can’t talk
to my husband because he takes everything I say the wrong way. For instance, I
know he likes to ride his bike and he was upset one day because he heard it was
going to rain.
“Oh, no, I heard it's going to be sunny,” I told him,
smiling.
He yelled, “Do you have to disagree with everything I say?”
I thought it would make him happy to hear it wasn’t going to
rain, but it didn’t.
I just try to keep neutral. I neither smile nor frown. When
I’m around him, my face is frozen like it’s lost the ability to move a
muscle. If he says something to me, I
just say, “Uh-huh,” and say nothing more.
I forgot not to comment about the weather.
I forgot not to comment about the weather.
I’ve been married over thirty years and except for maybe the
first two, I’ve been verbally abused. The first two were testing the waters for
him. I failed miserably in the test. I actually had opinions about things. I
found out quickly that wasn’t allowed.
