I couldn't agree more with Osuche!

The only thing I can add, is that when you're in that situation, remember to be as forgiving of yourself as you are of others. What I mean to say is, you know your wife/kids/friends/family have their faults, but it doesn't make you love them any less; likewise, when one of your faults has been pointed out, it doesn't mean that you are any less loved. Also, if you are criticised by someone whom you don't particularly 'rate', don't fret about it. Sometimes people are just incompatible in their opinions/priorities etc and there's nothing wrong with just agreeing to disagree (even if you don't do so out loud!)
