FINALLY, something I can disagree with you on.

I find "venting" no longer releases the steam, it seems to have the opposite effect and gets me and my wife more upset.

We are trying hard to avoid venting - it seems to be working. The more we try to listen to the other side and find things we can agree with, the better we feel after the conversation.
