Bridget,

I hope I don't say the wrong thing to you but here is my attitude right now. We connected on the board because weboth have a fiesty spirit. Your fiesty side does not want to take any [censored] from your H and neither does mine. But our little girl side wants to be comforted and loved and is scared. Every time we feel scared we voice our feelings and when they are negated our put down by our H we are NOT the type of waoman to take that. SO all of your anger is stuffed back in and you start to rationalize all of the good changes that your H is making so you don't feel pissed but you still are. It is what it is. Personally my "revenge" to his comment about the phone would be you standing your ground with another issue and feeling strong again. I am not saying play games but put the ball back in your court it is the only way he won't annoy you because you are going against your grain when you be quiet when he tells you to no go there. It isn't your personality and he should value that also. BUT he might listen to you at a later date on it so give him a chance BEFOrE you get annoyed.

Love
Lynn
