Ok I posted about this the other day on a now deleted account. The mods had some solid advice. I was obliterating my wife's shit tests because the alpha mentality is almost a natural state for me.
Grew up in tough conditions. Moved to another state, joined a church and got soft.
I got advice that my wife might fear me and I was failing comfort tests.
She told me point blank last night that I suddenly changed. She was scared something was wrong. Either I was having some mental breakdown. (When our first kid came I started having panick attacks a year into our marriage) Or I was getting ready to leave her. (because of working out and running, keeping a strict diet)
She was in tears over it. (she doesn't cry to manipulate. She rarely shows much emotion at all. She often stays stonefaced.)
I told her that I appreciate everything she does for me and the kids. I hugged her and told her I don't mean to come off as so harsh. That I'm just trying to sort some things out.
I've phased out shitty friends, got to lifting, cut out sugar, and built up a solid male group in a couple months. She's still trying to figure it out. But she was scared of me, I'm different.
I gave her comfort. And I let her know I'm going to take care of the family. She was relieved to hear this.
Next project is finances.
Thanks for reading.
Edited to use less words. Something I'm working on.
