Yeah, the day he got promoted at work. LOL!
Thanks, all, for the comments. I really appreciate them. NOP, I realize I am now at a point where I either have to grab the wheel, stop the car, and hit his dumb stupid man-azz upside the head with my R-Badge, or I can hit the wall with him.
Honey, I realize that when he said, "our sex life sucks," was his way of saying that the relationship has gone off course... I'm fighting the hurt that comes with such abrasiveness. I mean, how would you feel if Mr. HP said to you, "I think the quality of our religious discussions really suck and your efforts to date in that department of our R really suck." I'm sure you'd be very tempted to look him in the eye and tell him where to stick it, hm?
I'm still pondering how to address this. It's gotta be some kind of boundary thing and I don't think I've clearly set one.
I'm thinking about gathering up all my R books (I have several), putting them in one box, and leaving him a note that says:
Dear Mr. Corri:
Yes, indeed, our sex life sucks. Here are a few books that might be of help.
