Hi all,

thanks again for such thoughtful responses! We are working on getting out more and moving in a good direction.

I did want to clarify, neither of us are aggressive towards the other. Our fights are more like serious conversations that leave us feeling frustrated. We never name-call, yell, blame, or get physical with one another. Occasionally I’ll raise my voice but that really makes him shut down, so that doesn’t happen very often.

That being said, we do get very frustrated with each other and that does need to stop. We recently made some steps forward on the immigration front that have improved our situation. Someday soon we’ll be able to move out of the box but until then we’ll just have to keep doing our best.

Thanks,

M
