A,

Ok - from your last post I admit to being mystified as to why you would have any hope or desire to preserve your marriage other than for you child(ren??). Does your W have any redeeming qualities at all? Maybe I was mistaken in my other post to you and what you really need to do is write the marriage off and go about forming a separate life.

I do certainly agree that you should not be expected to be a doormat for her or to be direspected by her. Read hairdog's thread if you want to know if anyone has a experience with a woman who is immasculating and disrespectful. Don't tolerate it.
Hairdog has come a long way in his interactions with his W and yet seems to have many more positive associations with her than you seem to have with your W.

Please be careful you two of castigating career women. Many of the women on this board are very family and marriage committed and have very responsible and successful careers. Many of us are "the boss" and are pretty good at it. Yet, we don't extend that to the home front. HP and I have each had a SAHM career and a business career. Remember, women are individuals just as men are.
