I swear, we do have the same H! He too was stressed at work and OW stroked the ego BIG TIME! Especially because she is so young (24 when the A started!). I had forgotten to stoke the ego. Like you, I was busy trying to be mom to 2 kids, taking care of the house and all the details, but never to his satisfaction. I too thought he was an adult. Oops! I was wrong! Still can't believe it has taken me 20 years to see his low self-esteem! Knock me over the head with a 2X4!

Or, just give me a chocolate martini. Have you had one of those? YUMMY!!!!!!! Chocolate and alcohol!

God grant me the serenity, to accept the things I cannot change, To change the things I can, And the wisdom to know the difference. - Reinhold Niebuhr
