Either way, you cannot win..

The other half is sick. She has been for the past few days. The daughter has contracted whatever it is that the wife has too.

After the girls woke from an afternoon sleep, I just asked the wife how she is feeling.

"I don't need your CV questions" .. "I don't want to answer your questions when you don't really care" ..

Let me repeat, I had unprovoked, approach and "how are you feeling Ola?"... and I was attacked for not caring sufficiently in my manner of question.

(Is her response simply a case of : projection by the wife of her sentiments towards and approach to me?)

Going back a step, if I had not asked, if I did not buy lemons and ginger, check consistently what is needed from the shops, check what is desired in the way of drinks or food...etc... which obviously has been occurring, I would have been accused of not caring.

It is a ridiculous situation where whatever action is taken, one cannot enjoy a positive outcome.
