Hi girlfrompanema! Thanks for responding.
How long have I been working on the changes?? Well, that's a tough one because I backslide on the changes ALL THE TIME. So, no he hasn't seen them for longer than a week or two at a time. Then, WHAMMO! I react! That's what I'm really trying to work on. Not REACTING to everything he says to me, or every bit of evidence I find. It's a tough one, and man he PUSHES my buttons, and I go off. I don't know HOW to remain calm and cool with a husband that puts me down, or critisizes me. He says some far off things, and I can't let that go. I'm not a fair-fighter. I roll my eyes, cross my arms, and get sarcastic. THOSE are my areas I need to change. It's hard. Oh, I live in Clovis. Where are you? Not in panema?

Dom, I look forward to your responses because you're so...honest. You really don't sugar-coat anything. Please tell me that if your wife said, "Do I look fat in this?" that you gave a good answer.
