I think you're doing a great job, Hope. Even when you say you didn't handle situations perfectly and that you should have done XYZ, you've shown tremendous growth.
No one is perfect. You will never be a perfect little wife robot that can smile sweetly at him when he goes on like that. We're all human. You have changed massively so give yourself some huge pats on the pack for that.
Congratulations on the play! That sounds like so much fun and you should enjoy every minute of it. H be damned. You deserve this time for yourself. My last acting gig was in the 3rd grade, so I'm impressed by you!
How did you phrase the schedule change request with him? You said you had backup using your parents, so I wonder if we reworded how you posed it to him, if it would change his reaction (if this happens again in the future)?
