My husband is the king of the shoulds. And that's not transference on my part. Every mental health professional we've ever seen has picked up on it in a nano second. Even his parents fuss at him to relax a bit.
He's a wonderful man who holds himself to the same high standards he holds others to. He's perhaps a bit too intelligent, he's got willpower exuding from his pores, and I think he assumes that if he can do something (or rather, everything), everyone should be able to. I reap the benefits of his own perfection (smile), so I have to pay the price of him expecting an awful lot from his family.
