Paranoid? Grumpy wife!

[K31Fan]

My 2 cents worth: women like to feel safe with their men. And when men start carrying guns, or making sure people aren't following them, it presents an image of danger - even though we know we have a better chance of keeping them safe when we're observant about these things.

Hmm, does that make sense?

Case and point: I think she was a little scared, and covered for it by calling you paranoid and being irate.

Keep protecting your family, it sounds like you're doing a damn good job!

You all live in a place that has other cars? If I see another vehicle on my drive home I start griping about traffic.

My ex-wife used to bitch about stuff like that. It was annoying. Then, on account of her new job, we moved to a high crime ghetto and her behavior got to the point that it was actually endangering our safety. Some people you just can't reach.

If your wife is bitching about something as minor as taking a few extra minutes to circle the block, there is a problem. Problem likely involves work related stress combined with PMS and has little to do with the fact that you are driving around the block. She just wants an outlet for repressed anger, knows she can get away with it with you, and "paranoid" is a great label to put on people because there's really no way to defend against it to someone who wants someone to blame for the way she feels inside.

Sorry about your situation, man. Hope it gets better.

Oh, Just because you are paranoid, it doesn't mean that there isn't someone out to get you.

Better to be safe than sorry.
