I've felt this way before, like there's nothing I can do so I just gave up trying. I don't like to fight, in fact I hate it. I hate bringing up the same things over and over only to have him tell me I have nothing to worry about, or that he will change a particular behavior and then he just keeps doing what he said he wouldn't do.
He tells me he loves me. When you love someone their feelings matter to you, so it's getting harder to believe him. I asked him to do something that should be easy for him, I asked him not to talk to the woman who lives next door. She NEVER say's a word to me, not ever, but she calls my h over to the fence to ask him something or whatever. I told him I don't trust any woman that talks to my H but not to me. I asked him to stay away from her and he told me he would. Today she asked him to come to the fence and help her fix the top to a hammock. She has her own husband! Let HIM do it!
He promised me before I came back that he would not develop any friendships with women, so if he meant that he needs to stay away from the neighbor. I realize that ignoring her would be rude, but what matters more to him? how she (a stranger) feels? Or how I (his wife) feels? So what if she thinks he's rude or unfriendly <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" />
I don't think anything is going on, my problem is the potential for it. That and his lack of respect for my feelings. He knows that I am very insecure in our marriage and that's his fault. I don't think I had a jealous bone in my body before my h and I got together. If he didn't intend to keep his word that he would not allow any friendships with women to ever get started, why did he tell me that?
