Cathy,

You made me LAUGH with the Ray Ramano thing!!!! Sometimes my h is that dense!!!

I was reading a book by Dr Phil McGraw called Relationship Rescue. And in it he says that we live a lifestyle that sets us up for treatment like name calling from our spouses. I think I can see mine in that I didn't stand up to him before about it...wasn't agressive enough in stopping the behavior was too nice. Now that I stand up I'm labeled too rigid. I've had my h bring me back once on our date when he spoke to me rudely. He was shocked too but quickly turned it back on me by saying that I shouldn't be asking where he took the boys to lunch...like I don't think he feeds them! It's always about ME and how bad I am which makes him a bad husband?! Huh?!!!

He makes me believe some times like I'm the WORST wife, person! like i'm awful and being married to me was like a prison sentence!!!! I've got to detach from him that is all I'm thinking now!!! at least before my brain explodes with all this thinking!!!!
