I had a arguement with my wife about attitudes. My wife is on maternity leave with our second child who has colic and cries alot. I have felt at times that when things go bad, she takes things out on me. Whether real or imagined it is how I feel. She does not target me, but the stress is too much for her at times and everyone in the house feels it. Really i am just sensitive to it. It was a streesful day for her when i decided to stick up for myself. I said don't take it out on me, I didn't do anything. She got angrier and hasn't really said much since. Do I need to move on in order to be happy some day?

Sorry you are having a rough day all around, both of you. Hormones..gotta love em ;)
May I suggest as a woman and a wife. Some lovely flowers,her favorite treat (pickles and ice cream maybe?) and a foot massage? And a nice hug to start tomorrow fresh and new . I hope an pray the colic subsides soon too.
Take care. This too shall pass.

What do you mean by "move on"?

She will come around. Sometimes it takes a while for people to get use to you standing up for yourself, when you've been letting them have their way for so long. Good for you for doing this for yourself. But remember, you have to pick your battles carefully, when dealing with people you love.
