If you were sitting in a bathtub filled with very salty water and yourjealous wife were to push the hair dryer in it because she discovered thatyou were having an affair, what would happen?

You’d be hard pressed to maintain your peace of mind. Yet it can be done.No matter how others “act out” their psychological conflicts, you can remaincomposed and serene if you simply refuse to take the bait. In any marriage, hot buttons to emotional disharmony are bound to develop and your jealous wife is apparently excercising one of your hottest buttons, all 110 volts of it. I suppose thehypothetical “you” refers to yourself, and not me, as all five of mymarriages have been relatively free from acrimony.
