I think I'm finally having an eureka moment!

My H has been telling me all along what I need to do to stop pushing him away and I just have refused to listen. I almost feel like I'm his mom and he's a teenager going through a rebellious phase. I've always been a bit of a control freak and he's tired of me commenting on and trying to manage every part of his life, his clothes, his friends, his spending, his smoking.

I think maybe this is my problem from how I felt about my parents. I was the oldest and my parents were a bit strict. As a result when I went to college I went a little wild. I can't believe I'm now doing the same thing to my H. Not that he hasn't done anything wrong but really, how could I not have seen my behavior earlier?

He used to be so attentive and I was just, well, bossy.
