Quote: I like how your H is doing the "teacher" thing and that you are letting it happen....H loved to be "smarter" than me about certain things and I never minded as long as he respected my opinion in things that mattered to me!
Oh, I can relate to this. This is something I've thought a lot about-- H is smarter than me about certain things-- no doubt. In fact, he's smarter than most people I know. But I don't think he sees that in himself sometimes, or at least his nontraditional education/career routes (and his family) have left him with some baggage about the topic.
I think I haven't always communicated effectively how much I appreciate that side of him-- and also he has not been willing to accept those kinds of compliments from me--instead always giving them.
Hey Totally, I'm a lurker on your thread too! You've sure been doing some hard work!! Thanks for popping out to say hi. Take care.
