There's a difference between taking the high road and just rolling over for him. Maybe I'm wrong - but this seems like the time to stick up for myself a bit.
I agree, and go for it! You've let the issue sit for a few days, it still bothers you, and I believe that you will be able to address this honestly, without the turbulence of emotion driving the discussion, and you might be pleasantly surprised at how it goes.
Something I used to remind my oldest, who was about 8 at the time: that black and white situations rarely exist, people and emotions are complicated, and sometimes what we think or say isn't the case at all. I'd have probably told her if she was your D6, "don't you think that I'd be able to fix something as easy as our house in Iowa or mushy broccoli?" I wouldn't add anything and I'd just let that one sit for... an eternity?
BTW, Mr. Wonderful told his family in the early phases that I forced him to move from our first house into the house I currently reside and that it made him unhappy. It took him YEARS to admit that I couldn't have all that power myself, and that yes, he was sad, but that it wasn't the breaking point for our marriage. Not being able to talk to me about it was, though.
And I'll say to you what someone wise once told me: just because someone says something doesn't mean it's the truth.
I'd say that his overly simplistic explanation to your D6 is just a smoke screen for a whole lot more complications that he doesn't want to see, think about, and/or address with anyone. Doesn't mean you have to live by that, though. You'll do a fine job with your kids, Raliced. Of that, I'm 100% sure.
