I tried to compensate for H's approach by being super respectful of the kids and super nurturing, and challenging him when I thought he was over the line. I read about lots of marriage dynamics like this in Dance of Anger, the more he was like X I was like Y, and I couldn't figure out how to bring us both closer to the center.
