[quote=calidad]ROMB, [b] Thanks for the support. Yeah, I am with you on the "did everything I could" front. Really trying hard -- it's just tough to stay on point when kindness is met with straight up abuse. Today was a tough one. Hopefully tomorrow will be better!
I think I will stop doing things like making her breakfast and dinner. It's something I've done for a long time so stopping will signal a change. [/quote][/b]
2 x 4 time...get a helmet
Look, I don't want to just whine and nag at you like I'm taking the chicks' side, etc
but this thing where you are a victim and her rage is "unprovoked..."and you've "done everything" WHILE acting a whole lot like HER...well,
really? THEN gee
I guess you are powerless to change ANYTHING
b/c your nasty remark was of course justified...and you have fixed all the other things that bother her. SIGH
As long as you are playing the victim who "has done everything"
(oh please)...
then I guess you are just powerless and your m is over....
or
you can dig a whole lot deeper.
What the heck are your 180s? What are YOUR GAL activities?
What were her complaints about you and what are YOU doing about those traits?
Do something about THIS ^^^^
OR
stomp your feet and keep venting about how you'll punish her and the kids for HER disrespecting you "and the kids" and yada yada (as if the kids are being disrespected-this is almost all about Your ego,
which is highly developed for a guy who fears being a wimp).
Sorry but you are better than this. Your kids deserve a lot more from YOU, other than your pride/ego dictating your reactions.
So just do better. At least try.
