I would like to stroke his ego and make him feel like a hero. I struggle with how to do it, since I haven't been doing a good job of it. I am trying in small ways. For example, when I teach and don't come home until after 10, I tell him how much I appreciate his waiting up for me. I try to thank him in everyway I can.

Sometimes it is hard because he has no problem telling people that he will sic his wife on them. I get stuck in the role of bull dog and it is hard to go back to wife that would like to be the damsel in distress.
