When your husband said, "Then I'll need your version. I don't think it's flowery or Disney. And yes, I am happy. Sad and very emotional at times, but ultimately doing what I feel is best for me."

I thought, "This dude is a tool."

I'll bet all the guys who read your post thought the same thing.

You can talk to him--but not about this issue.

If he brings it up say, "I'm not discussing this anymore."

If he's says, "Why?" don't respond.

He knows why.
