I moved this over from another thread to answer your question. You may have already seen it, but I didn't want you to think that I was ignoring you. --------
I'm tired of having to jump through hoops so that I'll be treated in a civil manner at home. I'm tired of being emotionally manipulated so that we can have some peace. (Even my kids see and comment to me about this, btw.) I'm tired of trying to be someone else so my W will act like she likes me. And I'm tired of being controlled. This last month's change was just another face on it. Sex when she says and how she wants it so I can't claim she's withholding. (Fine, she wins!) -----------
I was too simplistic in my description of our lives. If our life is a play, I'm the producer/trophy H. My job is to provide the money, keep the spotlight on her, run the applause sign, and handle the PR work to insure her good reviews. She's the star and the director of the one woman show.
Actually, nothing has changed. I just got sucked into the behavior. It had been so long since I saw it last, I just forgot what Act 3 looks like.
