I did see some of H's selfishness when it came to time and affection before now. His mother is a very selfish woman and she taught that to her children. She is very materialistic and demanding and excludes those who she does not consider her family. She recently had knee surgery and not one of her three children came to visit her in the hospital. H said "But I would have to take off work." If H and I were together, I would have been there for her.
I talked to a minister's wife this weekend and on hearing only that my husband left she said "Some people are givers and some are takers. He is a taker. If you look back you will see that he was like this all along and you didn't see it because you loved him." I think there is some truth in this.
