my wife can't stand listening to me. She's not set up to entertain any uncertainties in life, and she was the oldest of a bunch of kids and did most of the raising of them, so she's definitely on the bossy side and just sure she knows everything she needs to know.......
There's some good in that. Without her you're just trading different life circumstances.
Life is about living, probing, exploring, questioning, debating .. loving, nurturing, accepting .... all are important and the most fulfilling life is when you try to embrace them all .. yet very few do.
