Is there a chance that your husband is the same way? Maybe he just doesn't know how to communicate? And I'm not talking about the 5 languages bs, I mean perhaps he is a proud, self made man who is so insecure that he cannot even help his children understand how much he cares?

Or, is he really a prick?


oh goodness sad, I had to laugh at that one...for certain h is not a prick...if he were then I'd be pretty daft wouldn't I?!

no he is simply a self made man (who btw believes all can acheive what he has, it's wether they want it or not this is what I hear when I comment on how fortunate I feel having all that we have in regard to home and stuff)

on the way home from our last c session h did mention his arrogance. That he for whatever reason felt he had to have a certain amount of arrogance or confidence to make it (he did start his business at 19) and is just realizing now that there are other and better ways to get your point across.

h does get it, it just gets lost. I've already been appologized to three times and noticed a bit of butt kissing and h isn't even home yet. not that I want h to kiss my butt (ok yes I do) but I would like for him to take a step back every once in a while and realize how his words and actions effect me ( and yes I know it is my choice to let them effect me or not)

I'm pretty sure I'll (or rather we'll) be ok...I stood up for myself without getting pissy and feel that I was heard, I'm pretty sure h understands that I DO understand that he is sometimes busy but that doesn't give him the right to be snippy with me even if he appologizes later.
