Spouse attacks are almost like panic attacks. You’re all of a sudden focused on all of the negative that they are or all the negative that they have done or haven’t done over all the years of the marriage.  Yes, that’s normal, it happens too many of us now and again.  These spouse attacks can be more prominent under periods of financial, sexual or personal stress in the marriage.  They can happen the day after a big emotional confrontation.  They can also move in when you realize your spouse isn’t going to change the way you want them to change and you begin to feel hopeless about it.

 Spouse attacks are very real.  How you handle these spouse attacks can influence you and your marriage for days, weeks or even longer. Sometimes you may not understand what’s going on with your spouse, you just know they are acting and treating you differently.
