Please send some compassionate word to help my H not to argue in front of the children. Today he called them a "problem" right in front of them...he is uses sarcastic tones with me...and turns every chat into a fight.<P>This IS NOT healthy for the kids. And when I tell him that ... he says sarcastically "oh yeah, you're always right". Please tell him I didn't make this up and that it is true. Maybe if he hears it from all of you I won't have to tell him anymore and he won't take it so personally.

Dear "Broken"<P>Sorry...I didn't even know you existed. My H is "broken man" and I am "Broken's wife". We've only been here for about a month. Sorry for the confusion.

Dear Broken Man's wife,<P>I understand how you feel, and your frustration over this whole affair - including the pain from his angry outbursts. Angry outbursts are not acceptable behavior. I hate them also. My husband, betrayer - does that too. It hurts, and it leaves me feeling frustrated and angry. It makes me feel like all the good that he does do for our family is chucked right out the door. I have to realize that this is HIS problem, and not mine, and bring myself to not react without hostility. Very hard. I'm good at the non-reacting part, but hard to not build resentment.<P>If I were to react, it would keep the fire burning, because it would just add more fuel to the fire.<P>Broken Man: Please stop your angry outbursts and thoughtless disrespectful judgments. You win more flies with honey than vinegar.<P>TNT
