(My wife) wears her tender heart on her sleeve, which makes her vulnerable to others’ words -- especially to my words.
DEAR ANNIE: On Valentine’s Day this year, my wife and I did nothing together. That’s because she feels hurt, and she is upset and mad at me. I said some words to her a few days ago, and then, like a fool, I did it again!
Other people can hurt and upset her, but she says that I am the worst. She says when it happens, she is devastated, and she runs away and withdraws from me, sleeping in the second bedroom sometimes for many days. At this point we do nothing together, and she rarely even speaks to me. For me, these are the worst of times. I miss her. When we are in sync and together as one, well, those times for me are the best of times.
I want to say to her: “Who am I, that I should have so much power over you that I can bowl you over?” I want to say: “Could you choose to be stronger and not give me the power that you give me? Could you not allow me to be able to do that to you?” So Annie, we need help! Can you help us? -- Too Much Power
