WOW, prego!!! What an insight!!!
It hit home here. My H used to feel inferior too. It was one of the main reasons when he first dropped the bomb: "I am tired of the feeling that someone has so much power over me!" And you know what? I did have. That was the whole problem. He would roll over and play dead if I asked him to and threatened to leave. Reading your stitch made a few things more clear to me.
H was also a sucker for compliments (which I rarely gave him). OW is also inferior to him.

Thank YOU for YOUR insights!!!

(I want to remind you that you can call me at any time if you are having one of those bad days. I also want to remind you that I have always admired your strength through this!)
