I know. I have gotten to the place that I just let go of everything he is doing and focus on what I want. I don't just mean I want my marriage, I mean what kind of person do I want to be. I don't want to be in a power struggle.
Power struggles are like voodoo, it only works if you believe it. I other words don't take the bait. If you feel "put in your place" even a little bit the struggle goes on. The fact that you hate it says you are still in the struggle. Just let him win. Nothing is more unrewarding then winning when some one lets you. Thats all it takes. To do it, remind yourself, its not a competition, no one is really winning or getting power.
