- My Wife Has A Broken Foot Like 2 Weeks And I Want To Help Her Move Around And We Are Supposed To Move In Like 2 Weeks And We Are Both Overwhelmed And We Get Mad Easy. I Have Much Higher Knowledge On The Matter Then Her. She Asks Loads Of Questions About Stuff Non Stop. I Have Had 5 Brain Concussions So It's Extremely Difficult For Me To Process Stuff On The Spot Or Answer Stuff On The Spot And I Get Mad And She Does Too. We Are Using A Uhaul To Move Stuff And I Care Much More About The Stuff Getting Moved More Safely. She Calls Me Controlling Because I Have More Knowledge On The Moving Stuff And She Asks So Many Questions Instead Of Trusts Me And I Can't Process It Enough To Say What I Want To Say When Getting Asked A Question On The Spot Because Of My Head Injuries. She Keeps Calling Me Controlling Because I Tell Her Just To Listen And Trust Me Because I Have More Knowledge On The Matter. What Can I Do Not To Be Called Controlling And For Her To See I Am Not?

My Wife And I Are Having A Different Type Of Move?

Ah, moving house - the ultimate relationship stress test, now add a broken foot and a sprinkle of past brain injuries, and you've got yourself a romantic comedy minus the laughs. First off, let's acknowledge the situation: you're both playing a high-stakes game of emotional Jenga while balancing physical challenges. The key here is patience and communication. Instead of aiming for a perfect score in the moving process, focus on how you can make it a bonding experience. Try this: sit down with your wife, maybe with some ice cream or her favorite treat, and share how much you value her trust and input. Explain how your brain injuries affect your communication and processing, not as an excuse but as context. Emphasize your common goal: to move safely and support each other. Maybe create a simple plan together where you can use your knowledge to guide the process, but also carve out specific aspects or decisions she can lead or have final say on. This approach shows respect for her opinions and acknowledges your expertise without crossing into the "controlling" territory. Love, understanding, and a bit of strategic planning can turn this move into an unexpected opportunity to strengthen your bond. And remember, at the end of the day, it's not about the boxes or the furniture but about moving forward together, one step (or hobble) at a time.
