D4 came and told me that D2 needed a new diaper cause she didn't make it in the potty. [...] I asked her to tell her daddy and he would take care of it. D4 came back a few minutes later and said that daddy said a bad word and told her to tell me. I went upstairs and told H that he could either change her or go down and cook while i do it, but that he needed to help cause i couldn't do everything. He said he didn't know what i was making, so i told him that the diapers and wipes were in the cupboard and to make sure to use her cream (D2 has super sensitive skin). Then i went back down stairs and finished dinner. Somehow, D2 got changed...
WOOHOOO!!!! YOu've got it!!!
and.. see how well he responded to it?
ooo.. aah.. i'm feeling a great big "I told you so" moment... must.. resist... oops.. too late
Ya see? The biggest obstacle for you to have a better marriage, and relationship with your husband... was simply for you to stand up and TELL him(firmly) what you needed from him!
I think that if you just keep on doing exactly what you did today, you are going to be feeling like one happily married woman in a month or two.
Keep it up! Red-flag what happened today in a notebook or something, and come back to it, any time you feel discouraged in the future
