Common Sense Common Logic And Rational Reasoning.

[pljames]

Am I going overboard on my common sense common logic and rational reasoning? I religiously believe in these three  thoughts intellectually, But sometimes I go overboard and erase thoughts that to me are not common sense common logic and ratlonal reasoning. Like my over emotional attitude about my wifes problem. My reasoning seems at one point rational them unrational at another time. Sometimes my mind and thoughts seem to run wild. I am thinking about seeking mental health to get a idea on where I am mentally. These emotional outbursts are taking there toll on me. Paul

If you are worried you can speak to your doctor about it.  He/she can certainly give you an idea of whether it is a good idea to speak with a therapist. and could help ease your worries.  What you are going through may be totally normal and you just need someone to talk with to help you sort through your feelings.

I thank God I'm not married :)

 

-Nah seriously

 

--Emotional Outbursts; I presume you, and your wife want to stay married.

 

Problem: You are rational, use common sense, and utilise reasoning.

 

Sadly your married! - you can't have everything.

Hi Paul, apparently you have not been long married. The best way to manage your affairs with your wife is either to ignore her emotional and irrational behavior or else as you pointed out, you might be on the way to see a "shrink". A friend of mine gave me an anecdote: when your wife starts ranting, tune off or get the hell out of the house; go get drunk and when you return you will be so inebriated that she might even feel sorry for you.

I think you take things a little too seriously james. Try to realize that problems don't get solved by emotional outbursts, and that you're better off just walking away from it for awhile.

Spambots are getting quite creative these days.

 

 

What is common sense, or for that matter, common logic?  I've seen no evidence of rational reasoning so far in this thread.

Emotional outbursts are letting go of the problem as being rational and tolerant is holding on for dear life. We all have our limits beyond which we rebel against being pushed and this leads to explosions of temper. When we are calm, energized, not tired then we can take the blow on the chin with the sledgehammer but the last straw on the camel's back and we can no longer contain our feelings: I call this the Accumulation / Discharge Cycle and use it to include not only the emotions but breathing, sex, hunger, thirst etc. It is like a car where you can take only so much before your petrol tank is full and need to or can 'take' things when it is empty
