Heather -
My oldest son was so attached to me, when my H would come home, S would say "oh, hi dad - I"M with MOM"! H was starting to get a complex until our D came along - she would run to the door yelling 'Daddy, Daddy"! frankly, I think it was just a difference in personalities - no surprise that as teens, my oldest son is a lotlikeme, D is a lot like her dad. Try not to take it personally.

Also, try to understand that your H is operating out of fear right now - an (understandable) fear that he could end up one of those weekend dads who only get to see their kids on weekends and part of summer vacation. Granted, he hasn't figured out yet that the best way to prevent that is to quit punishing you - but it must be terrifying to him.

I still think that you should read Chapman's Five Love Languages and start trying to fill up your H's love tank - I know, it seems unfair, but I'm vbetting it wouldget you thebest results.
