That's ok. Most of us aren't strong all the time. That has nothing to do with making a marriage work anyway. Sometimes you have to be everything BUT strong.

MT, have you ever read any books by James Dobson? There is a book about "tough love" that might give you the words for establishing your boundary. When you combine that with the live saving techniques of DB/DR you shoule be able to move forward (when you are ready) without feeling weak.

It feels to me like you are getting to the point when you will "have had enough." It does make sense to me that when you are ready for it to happen it will come out. However, I think that if you are prepared you will be able to act with love and not react with emotion.

That is something that I am just now figuring how to do.

Most of us are about as happy as we make up our minds to be.
