Hey Ang! Well he did go out but didn't stay out all night like I thought he would. So hopefully it really was just a night out at the bar watching football.
Anyhoo, I agree about the glass (or four) of wine, it really helps just to relax the brain a little bit. I need to do a bubble bath! I hate my tub though.
I know you have a hard time getting books, but there is a really good one called For Women Only by Shaunti Feldhahn that delves deep into the male psyche about how they take things in from us. Things that we don't see as harmful but yet they do damage. Very good, insightful read. This would be an excellent book for you and your sitch.
Yes, sarcasm is hard to break. It was an embedded trait in my entire family so it just seemed natural. I had an enlightening the last time I was on these boards about how hurtful it really is and is only a form of anger.
I hope you are right Ang about him seeing differences. Since I hear nothing it is really hard to tell. I've asked him at least 3 times to let me know what he thinks I could change, but he has yet to do that. He always says ok I will think on that. I think he knows that if he digs that deep he will have to face his own demons as well and he is not ready for that. I only hope that he will want to make changes within himself someday so that he can be a better version of himself.
I really appreciate your words of wisdom and kindness. You are way smarter than you give yourself credit for.
