Wrong

I have been told on several occasions by my wife that I act as if nothing is wrong when something is wrong. I don't act this way when I decide something is wrong. I act this way when Amanda tells me something is wrong and decides she isn't talking about it for a while. I know that I can't force her to do something until she is ready to do it. I'm not the kind of person to force myself on another person and she isn't the type of person to let someone force something on her anymore. I need to exercise patience until she is willing to address any of the smallest details with me. I am currently unable to force a conversation, no matter how important, to the other person until I have the smallest idea the conversation can be two ways. 

This is part of my leadership issue that Amanda needs me to overcome. I have to be able to confront items and discuss them in a timely manner. I have to talk about other issues in an effective way with her. I have acted as a dictator in some instances. Our marriage is not good when either of us acts inappropriately. 

I am sorry for things I have done. Once I realize how they affect Amanda I am sorry. Usually the moment I realize how upset she is is right after she says she's not talking about it anymore. Sometime afterwards she tells me that being sorry doesn't cut it and I believe her and let her give me the silent treatment while I wait out the moment she seems willing to talk things over more.
