Hey Desert4now,

Welcome! It's nice to have other spouses on here to chat with, and relate to. Here you will find plenty of answers, ideas, and a general feeling of togetherness. It is so cool finding out you are not the only one going through the things you are experiencing.

As for your inquiry into descriptions of episodes, Kerri-Ann couldn't have been more right when whe said that they vary from person to person. They even vary among the same person! My wife has been triggered by financial issues, the state of the house, me not taking a specified day off, the kids not following through on a chore. There is not a specific topic or event that will do it, and thus causes the "walking on egg shells" syndrome.
