I suppose some day we might look back and laugh at how a seemingly innocuous comment about where to put away the dishes resulted in my husband packing a bag and running away. (He didn't make it one entire night but I don't know why yet - I haven't talked to him). I've felt for a while now that I don't think I can really express any negativity to him.
