You need to try a different approach. You've just been doing more of the same, so you aren't getting anywhere. Maybe for H take off the top and not the bottom?? lol

Wow, good point, Kat! One of those things I can't see in my own sitch!!! I've tried something a dozen times so it's stupid to continue. What would be the solution then? Logical discussion and logical emails don't work with H, so what then? I will take off my top when he is here, I'm serious!, but what to do re: emails? I've gotta think about that! Do you have any ideas??? Just ignore his suggestions to work full-time then; not bother to respond? (Sorry I'm such a dummy in my own sitch but for some reason it's so much harder when it's your own life!) Karen
Karen,
OK, trying to formulate a serious and helpful response to you, after your "taking my top off" comment, so bear with me . . .
When your husband sends you e-mails suggesting something that's preposterous, just respond "Thank you for sending; let's discuss soon." or "Thanks; I'll consider that." Don't ignore them, nor should you jump into the pit with him and argue about the stuff.
I bet 90% of the time, he doesn't even bring it up again.
