Nagging
Even though you may feel that your intentions are good, nagging and criticism create tension in the home. Your spouse may become depressed or defensive. She may sulk or pout or even blow up over suggestions. He may begin to punish you in a dozen insidious ways - to get back at you for not accepting him the way he is. Often communication is cut off. A husband may become openly hostile, bitter, and angry. A wife may become cool, distant, and withdraw into periods of silence. There may be little sharing. Husband and wife may live under the same roof, yet seldom speak about anything meaningful. In more advanced stages either spouse may seek acceptance outside the home.
