Down, We did go to MC twice a month for 8 months.

I know it's hard to get a read from what I post here. I am trying really hard to just talk about me & not about what choices & decisions he's making that are in direct conflict with what I've asked him to do......

for example.......he lost his job 9 months ago. I've been asking him to look for a job. He's building a consulting business. Money in = not a lot. Money out = a lot. Money loaned to partners = a lot more.

<<Statements like that are unfair and sort of demonstrate the presumptive mindset you appear to look at things from

or maybe it's perfectly accurate & I've been with him long enough to recognize manipulation when I see it.

<<Your baggage makes it hard for you approach things with an open mind.

Maybe in the past. I know exactly what I'm doing now.

<<earned but it is drowning you

I disagree. My baggage has given me unbelievable strength.

<<BTW this is not a 2x4

I didn't take it as a 2x4. I took it as a exchange of ideas & information.

thanks for caring enough to reply & post to me. I appreciate it.

I was never meant to be a doormat. It took me years of therapy to become assertive enough to stop his abuse.
