Default Re: I'm ready to give up.

One thing that really worked for my wife and I was to write down all the things that bothered us in the relationship. We were brutally honest, and we wrote our own lists individually.

We then sat down together and went over them with the agreement that the one listening wouldn't get defensive or raise their voice. Just listen and be constructive and loving back. We tried to come up with 3 concrete things we were going to do for each of us to try and turn things around.

It definitely helped us, if for no other reason than to clear the air.

You might want her to do that with you.
