HG,
Yes, your words are very wise. As much as I am ranting/complaining here, I do *know* that I cannot/would not do that in front of or to my husband. I definitely try to be very complimentary and supportive to him. He has shown me time and time again that THAT is very important to him. You are right, his self-esteem is very fragile .. although he doesn't want anybody to really know that. Of course, I do!
It is times like this ..when I discover what he has been thinking/feeling about his NOT working and NOT continuuing to contribute to our financial future that I just feel like giving up!
As I mentioned in another post, I DO know that I have no control of my husband. Thus, I do not complain to him/harp on him. That has worked up to this point .. UNTIL I discovered his current attitude of not being able to work much more in his life time. (SIGH ...)
