Eric, I have never thought of my h having a low self esteem.If anyone has been known to, it is me. I have greatly improved that the last 6 mos. I don't too much ask him to do any of the "honey do's" around house, as I have asked him several times, and he has "no time" to do them, so I don't ask. H came home from helping her and I asked if he was ok, he just mumbled yes, but something is very different from a few days ago. I will only vent here, as I will not ask him again. Sue
