Yeah, I used to treat my H the same as y'all with regards to respect. (especially with our kids...I don't baby them by any means, but I have tried to soften his approach with them...and I can see how that made him feel like I wasn't respecting him). I realize that I need to change that.
Wish I would have changed that BEFORE all this, though. It's really hard to respect someone who has done the things that H has done.
But, I read the other day that you can respect the "postion" or "office" someone holds even if you don't respect the person. I think I need to approach it like that until I can truly respect him.
Just work on respecting his position as husband and father in our family for now...even if H himself isn't doing things that can be respected.
