Hi Bill,
I've been in and out of SR too many times to count, but have always been comforted to see you around and enjoy your writings. What you said was just fine - you needed to vent and I'm quite certain it helped more than a few people to do so. People do have a way of interpreting shares to apply them to their own lives and that's fine too. That's how I read D122y's response.
To me, your response to this particular situation with your wife was a fine example of "healthy isolation," a technique I need to learn as my isolation has been extremely unhealthy over the past many years.
Thanks
O
