Dust, I love you! You are so much like me!!! I can't work b/c I am laughing so hard....
Quote: "Yes, but my dad lived at home." (Always the sarcastic bitch getting in the last word).
Okay, maybe it wasn't the greatest thing to say, but then again, I don't think it was the worst either. I think you are just very smart and your brains work so fast that sometimes you can't slow down... And like you said, now at least you are aware of those sarcastic comments and are trying to do something about it.
When I get emotional, oh boy, there is no stop for me either. It's extremely difficult to always say "yes honey, sure honey, I agree with you honey...", when you are actually thinking "hey, you caused all of this mess so you'd better put your acts together". But I am getting better, I think (I don't say "sure honey" stuff, though). I am being honest, and will let him know how I feel, but am trying to choose words more carefully. Also, I have learned some tactics where instead of just say "no", I just come up with some other reasons to soften things up. That's not really my style, as I believe in being honest, but I realized that when I just say "oh, unfortunately that won't work b/c ABCXYZ...", instead of "NO, remember our agreement???", even though it is true that we have an agreement and H is trying to break it, I get better results. So I am getting wiser, I guess.
Your H may think he is very annoyed by your comments and wants something different now, but you two have spent 17 years together, so obviously he was attracted to you. If he goes for someone completely different, he might get bored, b/c she will not "respond" as quick as you...
The interesting thing is, in the past, my H was always attracted to women who are opinionated and fairly aggressive, even though he claimed that I was too fisty...
