Terrible Wife

Okay I feel like a crapppy wife! Erik's award ceremony was today and just guess who wasn't there? You got it, yours truly missed the ceremony. But of course he was there for mine. Thats just the way it goes. Then he tells me that he feels like we are just too different some times. This is really seeming to bother him and my reaction when he tells me? Well duh. I thrive on the differences though and they seem to stifle him. So what to do? I feel like telling him I worry that we wont make it either when we get home but that might make it worse. Am I just avoiding problems or am I taking the right path? This can be so difficult.
