Nutty, Yes his family was pretty disfunctional. His dad was also a depressed alcoholic that used to beat all 3 of his kids, especially my H. He feels his mom was a coward for not stopping it.
I could have guessed that was the kind of upbringing he had.
He has never been shown how to be a good father and husband.
He has learned that woman will take mistreatment and do nothing about it. He doesn’t seem to have a lot of respect for woman… (going to strip clubs, not respecting your boundaries etc)
You have a real battle on your hands here tipper.
It is almost like he wants to be with you, but is afraid of becoming his dad (and you becoming his mum).
Is this MLC or is he living the life he learned as a child?
Nutty.
