This whole idea of the "MAN of the house" is not one I subscribe to, or at least the way I think your H means it. I think it's crap and if he is going to continue to believe he has "dominion" over you then you are probably going to be dealing with these issues for longer than you'd like, i.e. forever. I AM AFRAID FOREVER IS VERY APPROPRIATE IF HE CAN NOT SEE THAT IT IS unacceptable....
You are a partner, not a subject. You are not his slave nor child. You are his wife and as such, deserving of your own voice and most of all, respect from him but first you have to find that voice in you and respect yourself enough to demand respect from him. ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL AND I lOVE WHAT YOU POSTED AFTER THIS TOO, THANK YOU FOR YOUR KIND WORDS AND I WILL READ THEM ALOT OVER THE NEXT FEW WEEKS AS I WILL START TO ADDRESS THIS each and every time he does it,, I FELT LIKE I HAD LEARNED TO USE MY VOICE THAT WAS QUIET FOR SOOOOOOOO LONG BUT SEE NOW THAT I NEED TO USE IT MORE TO RESPECTFULLY GET HIM TO CHANGE WITHOUT HIM FEELING LIKE I AM NAGGING AN THEN HE WILL USE IT AS AN EXCUSE TO KEEP BEHAVING LIKE THIS
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR TAKING TIME OUT OF YOUR DAY TO KEEP TABS ON ME GOD BLESS...
