Do certain words trigger you? I have learned not to use certain words around my hubby as he will fly off the hook outrageously.

"Are you feeling ok today?" or "Are you feeling slow?" Ugh! It's usually said to me when I have to have something repeated to me by my husband or someone who knows about my illness - usually because THEY MUMBLE, not because I didn't understand the question or comment.

Not so much the words themselves, but the way they are said is more of a trigger.

Not certain words. But I don't like being made wrong, or told what to do by my wife.

She is very good at comparing me to other men. So then I have to strike back and compare her to other women. : ) Which is not exactly a good way to start the day.

I really think I've married the wrong person. But we have kids so that is that.

"You're just looking for something to be upset about." tends to trip my trigger.
