[QUOTE="witzend, post: 268073, member: 99"] I'll qualify that by adding ...just pensive and concerned until that day that you get in a big argument about it in the car (did I mention that I always drive?) two miles from home in the rain and you tell your husband that he needs to walk the rest of the way home. Then, you can drive up to (insert your favorite quiet national monument or park that is at least 1 hour away here) and sit in the lot and decide that you just don't really have it in you to fight this battle alone anymore, and be sure that he knows that you just aren't going to waste your time caring about it. You're not leaving, you just don't care, so you're not participating in any of the give and take of marriage anymore. It worked for me. ;) [I]Far[/I] better than three years of marriage counseling and trying to compromise. And husband is much happier and much more cooperative. And [I]I[/I] know that I don't have to care that much anymore because it's useless to be the only one invested in solving [I]family[/I] problems. [/QUOTE]
