Officially 10 days sober as the clock hits midnight on the East Coast. I feel good about that, but wish I was less of an asshole to my wife today. I’ve always had some trust issues which are all on me. She happens to be very good friends with our neighbor who is the father to our sons best friend. He just happens to be separated from his wife for the last year or so. I feel very threatened at times by their close relationship and boy I let my sober, cranky ass hang out today… feeling regret.

That’s tough… but at least disagreements and difficult conversations are better had sober. I can’t even recall how many fights I’ve had while drinking that… well, I can’t recall.
Ultimately it goes back to the golden rule “treat others how you want to be treated”. If trust is what you seek, you must be willing to give it. However, your feelings are extremely valid especially in this day and age. When communicating your feelings, timing and delivery is important.
I always like to imagine difficult conversations like a game of catch- you wanna throw the ball gently- not in a way to inflict emotional bruises. Especially with us sensitive females
