I don't know if it will help, but my dad, who married his affair partner, was horrible to her--never trusted her, ran her ragged, put her down constantly in front of us. She stuck it out, god knows why...I think because they fought so hard to make it work and it was a 2nd marriage for her...
My dad is in the last stages of Alzheimers and is going kicking and screaming. I almost feel sorry for his wife but... When she complains I love to tell her, You had to have him, you broke up my family to get him--he's all yours!!
She gets so mad...lol.
Ok, well my S is in camp for a week and I spent yesterday with H and today as well. He did something to his shoulder while sleeping (horrible mattress!!) and was in complete PAIN all of yesterday! Took several muscle relaxers and tylenol and was just a wreck. Barked orders about food, etc, and I was like, sheesh--how bad would it be if I left him alone like he deserves right now?? But I have a paper due Tues and wanted to start my next one and get a little ahead before S comes home.
I had been toying with the idea of getting him a new mattress--it's almost like a sign from God I think --he's telling me to DO IT!!
