Alot of my problem is that I hate conflict. I am not looking forward too see her reaction. In my first marriage , ex wife was very controling. While my D19 was growing up, my first wife would walk all over me, and I would let her and it would frustrate my present W that I would let her. Who knows maybe my present W will see this as a positive step for me for sticking up for myself.
Anybody else want to answer this? Anyone? Anyone?
OK, I'll take a stab. AC, your W does not respect you. Sounds like your 1st W had the same issue.
A woman will not (cannot) love a man she does not respect.
Take the reigns here (call it a 180) and LEAD. Take control.
Overcome your fear. Have fath. And just do it.
You will be surprised at what happens (we won't).
I think my work with this one is done. I dub thee Sir GIMA.
