Thank you for the reply. I just got the book last night and I'm about 1/3 through it. I'm now glaringly aware of the many ways I contributed to this. Being critical, negative, insecure and always having to prove I'm right. I've been working on those things already. Each night I talk to him I'm cheerful and agreeable, some days he seems to love it and also gets cheerful, some days, like last night it seems to throw him off and for lack of a better word, really piss him off. I almost felt like he was trying to pick a fight last night. I didn't let myself get pulled into it though.
