I have read your thread from the beginning and I hope this does not offend you because I think you are a very strong woman and I value your advice however, I have noticed that your H places a lot of value on what others think such as his parents or at the people at the dance contest. You do not seem like a person who cares about what people think of you, you are who you are. So, my point here is don't you realize that you are an AWESOME person and while I know you are trying to save your marriage you are the better person here. I think you already know that so I do not have to tell you. I just see a man who places a lot of emphasis on what others think of him instead of saying who cares what anyone thinks of me and my family. If he was secure with himself he would be able to do that...YOU, my friend, are that person..Sometimes I think you do not give yourself enough credit...
