pissed off

... my charming mother starts screaming "no water ever falls in this house; nothing ever burns in this house"

Your mother sounds like a caricature straight out of a Hindi movie.

And nothing personal, but you seem to get enraged much too easily. Don't sweat the small stuff

She is... yep it is true where she is concerned I just lose it far too easily....

Well, at least you realize it. I hope you realize that if she upsets you so much, then a few thousand miles between you and her won't really help. You'll still manage to find ways for her to upset you.

I hope Paul will have a calming effect on me

Let's hope so.

He is very calm; does not get agitated easily... and he fills my life with love... I think he would manage where others have failed... he claims he has tamed the shrew

that's sounds really unfair to put that expectation on him.

Sounds kind of like when my wife blames me for her recent weight gain. "You don't motivate me". ####### I didn't realize that was my job.

exactly ... accountability is key ... we are all responsible for ourselves and our behavior (or lack thereof).

ari, ask your wfe to go shopping at the mall with you ... that'll motivate her!!

I dunno...I don't think there is anything wrong with finding a spouse's personality calming. To me it's a balance. For example....maybe one spouse is more down to earth and realistic, while the other is more idealistic...they balance each other. Here Anita is saying she gets a little more rattled where he doesn't. Those are just basic personality traits and IMO there is nothing wrong with that. There may be times when her personality will be more suited to whatever situation they find themselves in, instead of his more laid back one.

Huh??? Unfair??? I don't see that I am being unfair... he does calm me down... I have never shirked accountability for my actions/reactions... perhaps I am missing something here... for I really do not see how I am being unfair or shirking responsibility for my actions
