I hear ya. Can I make a suggestion for future conversations? Have you ever wondered how, in casual conversation we suggest to people that success=happiness? Have you considered that happiness is not all it's cracked up to be? Watch the people's threads that have been at this a while. You'll notice they don't say they are happy without also saying they are joyful. Or they just skip to the joyful part. Know why? For me it's because happiness is fleeting. Joyfulness is something you can experience if you're happy or sad. It's a different and more meaningful emotion, no?
So the next time you decide to talk to husband, perhaps it would be a good idea to switch from
Quote:
what he feels good about
to "what he feels he can live with and is the right thing to do."
It's subtle, but I think it makes a difference.
Just a thought.
