Have you tried setting a boundary there such as stating that you feel as if he's dismissing you rudely when he does that?
I don't think I ever have. I mean, it's seems so obvious that is the reason he does it-to dismiss me, it would almost be funny for me to say that. Maybe that's me assuming I know what his intentions are? It seems everything I say to him can't elicit the same exact response unless he was trying to tell me something with the response itelf. I feel like he would look at me and say "DUH!!!!"
Considering though that your marriage fairly sucks, if it's OK for me to make that kind of an assessment, if he doesn't seek to try and improve it at this point by this genuinely valid suggestion of going to see a MC, that tells you something big time, I'd think.
Yeah, I've thought about that. About what hope there is left if he declines counseling. Ugh.
Nothing wrong with having a "typical" life. Find more things to fill it with.
Definitely not, I just meant that if anything I do happens to stray from my typical life, it seems to cause friction with H. I've been in karate for over a year now and he still hasn't accepted that as a normal part of my life. I can reasonably expect that anything else I may find to do with my typcial life will cause problems, particularly if it involves being out of the house.
Well, I'm off to Utah. I'll be back Monday. Hope everyone has a great weekend.
