I realize the mother thing was a very stressful piece to my M I always knew that. I think it was a mix of stubbornness, pride, and the feeling that I had of lack of options that is the reason I allowed it to go for so long. At one point since the arguing became more frequent I just kind dug my heals in and decided that W was just being unreasonable, after all she was the problem not me.

One thing that I think alot of men miss and alot of women won't say.
We want to be the priority. To feel like the priority. The number one priority. Like you would choose us over anyone, defend us even if you didn't agree in public. Equal only to children, sometimes taking a back seat there.
The Bible, which I don't quote often, speaking on marriage, says, "For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife"....
And yes we all have a "deal breaking" point.
Most of us, THINK we know what it is (PA, 2 PA, 10 PA, D papers...)...
Most of us learn, we don't really know what it is until after it has happened.
And that is ok.
