lwb.....thanks. I felt pretty good after I said & did that!

TAL....You are right. He doesn't have the right to be mean to me like that. It was rude and wrong. Maybe this doesn't make any sense, but I anticipated a time that he'd spew some harsh words at me and that he'd do it when he'd been drinking. My H has an extremely difficult time communicating anything in regards to us or our R. Those things, good or bad, usually come out after he's had a few drinks. He'd had more than a few last night. As wrong as it was, I saw his actions/words last night as him trying to relay something to me or push his anger about things on to me. AGAIN....it's not right and although I said that I'm okay today, I'm not saying that what he said didn't hurt in some way. At least his words were directed toward the piece of clothing I was wearing only and not about me or how I looked. I tried to see it as words of a person who is not thinking clearly instead of taking it personal.

I'm just trying to stay positive.
