And... I just lost it. I was so bloody angry at him. I told him something like: "Look, I get it, I do. You have a mental illness. I am happy to be supportive. I am there for you. But you will NOT talk to me this way. I don't know if it's depression, midlife crisis, or both. But you know what? My mother has this issues and I did not put up with this $hit from her and I am not about to put up with it from you. Check your ugly attitude, paint a smile on your face, and act like a normal human being. I have been nothing but cordial, kind, and understanding. If you want to talk to someone the way you talk to me, try your friends who don't care enough about you to actually spend time with you. When you talk to me, you will talk the way you do to people who outrank you."
[/color]That is strength if I have ever seen it. It takes a person. That has detached and has respect for themselves to make those comments. He definitely saw your strength and he saw you wouldnt be taken his sh!t no more. IMO that was a mini wake up call. Great job. Out of respect love is born.[color:#000099]
I don't know whether he has to actively remind himself that he must behave like an ass or whether my tirade had an effect, but his attitude seems to have adjusted at least temporarily.

Keep up the hard work.
He would be a fool to walk away from a woman thats doing all these things for him. I'm in althe Army and one thing a soldier appreciate is a loyal, faithful spouse.[color:#3333FF]
