I meant no disrespect or condemnation. I did make an honest observation. I wasn't angry at you.
Having read your responses, I would like to offer another observation, even at the risk of further offending you. I believe that with the right interactions with your husband, that he could learn to be the more assertive male that you need in your life. I believe that you could help him with that. If you need ideas, I have some.
I also think that as you deal with your own demons, your experience can richly add to the resources of this forum.
Fearless:
An open ended question is not baiting.
LFL had mentioned me and Cobra by name.
I appreciate your concern about my style. I see no point in feminizing it. I am sure that it puts some people off.
My suggestions are specific to each situation. I don't use boiler plate scripts except in dealing with affairs.
I am concerned that you conceal your thoughts and opinions in disclaimers. Obviously, your husband really impacted your self esteem during your marriage. Regardless of what you think about me, unlike your ex, I think that you are worth having, that you are a person of value, and would make a good wife to a more appreciative mate.
All the best, -NOPkins-
I will ferret out an affair at any opportunity.
-An affair is the embodiment of entitlement, fueled by resentment and lack of respect. -An infidel will remain unreachable so long as their sense of entitlement exceeds their ability to reason.
