Yes, unfortunately years of deployments caused a lot of bitterness between us and we were both pretty mean to each other, albeit many times it was without even thinking. I wish I would have realized much of this sooner. At this point all I can do is change on my end and hope he will change his mind. I have noticed some positive changes in him too, specially with our daughter. I've made sure to sincerely praise him for it and he seems to love it. Hopefully it won't be too little too late.
