In Our Overly Rational But Not Unemotional House. . .
#5
RE: In Our Overly Rational But Not Unemotional House. . .
That's different from my marriage. My wife and I are actually quite emotional people, and I'm never as calm and rational as I would like to be in our arguments. Life to me feels a lot at times like I'm just treading water and trying to stay afloat, and that often times causes me to lash out more than I should. Not that the arguments get really heated or anything. We both just get emotionally involved in them.

Although, I will say that we've both made great strides in the past few years. We are also house looking, and that's caused some other issues between me and the mother-in-law. I'm quite proud of both the wife and myself at how we've been able to calmly and rationally discuss the situation.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
