Hey Beth--didn't realize we were locked out. Self Esteem? I think H had problems with this for a while. He was getting really beat up at work and OW was there to listen to his problems. He also had the chance to be her knight in shining armor because she was a (twice) divorced mom with 2 kids and she was being singled out at work by their very demanding boss. I think she was better at stroking his ego than I was. Never read Proper Care and Feeding of Husbands, but at that time I thought that he was an adult and he could take care of himself. I had to take care of myself and 3 kids, and the house, etc, so I thought he could take care of himself. Don't get me wrong, I still did all the cooking, cleaning, housework, etc, but never to his satisfaction. I think by putting me down, he felt better about himself, or at least he tried, huh?
Each experience in life has formed me, become part of me, made me stronger.
