Thank you for the encouragement. We haven't gotten to the point where we're making scenes in public, but that's mostly (if not entirely) because I'm good at disengaging and keeping a lid on it. For example, it's nothing for her to somewhat passionately start criticizing me or recalling some failing of mine from the past in the presence of mixed company. I can see people casting their glances asunder as a clear non-verbal sign of their discomfort. I'll generally offer some quip or other to derail my wife from further embarrassing the both of us.
I'm starting to seriously wonder if I married a classless slag, basically. Her parents got divorced when she was young, etc., and I'm wondering if she's just a broken person. But hey, I've got money to burn, so might as well throw it at a marriage counselor just so I can say that I did.
