Thanks PMA - Just so frustrating when he has had soooo many opportunities to be confident alpha-male she wants and he fails time and time again.
He melts at every tear, whine, touch... I get it, the fear of losing one’s family is crippling. But that fear is causing him to appear wimpy and thus she loses respect. You CAN be fearful, loving and empathetic AND be a confident, respectable, strong man!
And if you look back, every time he implemented even a small portion of what you vets have advised, the results were positive for him. And he felt better and more empowered. And SHE for that brief moment RESPECTED HIM!!!
Sorry for talking "about" you john and not "to" you... But start now... Respect is something you earn through your actions. Do you really think your actions warrant her respect?
