I thought I'd have to wait awhile to hear from you - it sounds like you are terribly busy trying to earn your 50%. Thanks!<p><br>Do you think your husband will seek counseling?<p>Do you have children?<p> <p>[This message has been edited by Maura (edited 03-02-99).]<p>[This message has been edited by Maura (edited 03-02-99).]

<br>After reading so many stories on this forum, I'm convinced that it's worth it to fight this hard for a marriage. What you said about your forceful nature also being your strength was interesting. It's so important to keep aware of our better selves - especially in a situation with a controller. <p> I'm glad your H is talking to your dad. That's great support for both of you. <p> <br> <p>[This message has been edited by Maura (edited 03-02-99).]<p>[This message has been edited by Maura (edited 03-02-99).]<p>[This message has been edited by Maura (edited 03-02-99).]

Maura - Sometimes it's good to emphasize the good qualities about those we love. <p>I would like to take the opportunity to do that now.<p>My husband can be the most loving, affectionate person I have ever known. Although he can be overly fastidious about money, he is not in debt except for the mortgage on the house. He desires a good marriage just like I do, and seems willing to keep on trying. <p>What I need to focus on is making sure I give him the honor and respect he longs for. Sometimes just IDENTIFYING someone's needs can be a great part of the solution.<p>I desire his happiness and will look for ways to accomplish that. <p>[This message has been edited by greeder (edited 03-03-99).]
