| I just listened to the latest episode of Terrible, Thanks for Asking. It's about Allison Raskin. It was a really eye-opening look into her childhood history and beyond. She was diagnosed with OCD and depression at age 4, when she began displaying odd behaviors. So much of her story just screams AUTI... |

We have not. But I'm thinking of getting those window and door alarms. I will, of course, consult with the other occupants of the home on any new changes, as Blazingstar and Kortie so wisely suggested. |

Thank you, Blazingstar, for your good and healthy insights. I also agree with Kortie. |

| If you did that, the cycle will repeat itself. I feel like your wife would like to be consulted on this. You are correct. I appreciate the advice. I should have mentioned that she is okay with cameras on the outside of the house. I apologize for the omission. We have one viewing the side yard alrea... |

I think I will install a camera on the front porch, at least. |

| She's "giving you one more chance." It's not all over yet..... She only meant that she was giving me one more chance in regards to the camera, or she would rip it off the wall. In my anxiety and self-loathing, I imagined she was applying that to the entire relationship. But she's not. I k... |

| I'm sure you care deeply about the safety of your family, but cameras may be over the top. You're absolutely right. It was a violation of privacy. She welcomed the camera, during a hard season in her life (she almost died from blood clots and wanted me to look out for her, during the months of reco... |

| There are going to be times when, in the course of explaining something to you, people will misspeak. Now, they know they meant, and you know what they meant, and they know you know what they meant. In these circumstances, correcting someone is correcting them for correcting's sake. It serves no pu... |

| Perhaps your wife had a bad or busy day and interpreted your help the wrong way. My boyfriend and I have had such reactions to each other, not frequently, but once in awhile. One of us might be stressed about something and just have a bad reaction. I don't think it's uncommon in couples. This was m... |

Thank you. I agree with this assessment. It's hard, but you're right. |

Good ideas! Thank you. I'll take them into consideration. |

| It's obvious you love and care for your family (human and bunny) very much. Try not get too down on yourself though. Your wife sees wonderful qualities in you. If she hadn't, she wouldn't have said I do and married you. She must think your a wonderful man. I understand her desire for privacy in the... |

| IDK, you sound like a great dad/husband/bunny-parent to me! Maybe I'm just weird, but I only expect privacy in the bathroom. If I had a camera set up in my living room and I knew my spouse was on the other end I'd be waving into that thing and sending messages in sign language all day. Aww thanks! ... |

| My wife said that our son's room was really warm, and noticed that the AC was "set to one." She said that "one is the warmest and seven is the coldest." I believed that this was backwards, so I went in to double check. I was right. But she had made the adjustment in the correct d... |
