I haven't been following this thread, but read and felt compelled to post. I, too, felt I was in charge of keeping my H's super-sized ego in check. I feel like I did everything I could to keep him 'grounded,' so we were on the same 'level.' Now he tells me the EA has more to do with ego than anything else.......why would it have been so hard to praise his accomplishements, compliment his body, let him know what a great man I thought he was. All b/c I was so afaid/insecure that if I told him, he'd know how great he was, and try to find someone equally great (re: better than me)????
