Lou, I see a lot of my H in your description. Perhaps he will have a lot of handslap moments himself in the future.
We are not poor but, well, you know how it is..living off one salary is a difficult thing to do these days. (or ever!) We live a very modest and frugal lifestyle--and I actually prefer it that way--and I know that H's confidence isn't the greatest. He has low self esteem anyway, but the fact that we struggle financially eats him alive, I'm sure. I'll say this: It bothers him a LOT more than it bothers me.
Thanks for the response. It helps to illuminate things for me and see a different side of H that I normally wouldn't even think about.
