K,

Good. Get angry. You need to feel your anger. Because he has not, is not, treating you the way a partner should be treated.
And he is not likely to step up to the plate and treat you any better unless you demand it of him. And if he is scared of you, which I really doubt, then that is his problem to deal with. HE can open his mouth and tell you what he thinks and feels. HE can tangle with you. Not some stand in stranger on a bulletin board.
Perhaps some people on this board project their relationship with their spouses onto others. That doesn't make what they say to you really about you. It is about them.
