[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 525399, member: 11791"] Janet - I'm going to give you some advice that I've never had to take. But it was given by an old family friend, to her own daughter. Her daughter was married to a total jerk, not sure what all other terms to use. NOT evil - there are some out there like that. But life wasn't going well, and she wanted out. She was venting to her Mom, and her Mom asked her... Do you want to know how to really hurt him the absolute most, when you do pull out? daughter was all ears!So the Mom continued... Then for the next three months, you treat him like an absolute king. Do everything possible to make HIS life easier. Cook all his favorite foods, keep the house they way he wants it.. whatever it takes. daughter got the picture. (so she thought) Six months later, they were still together. The Mom asked... what happened? Well... after 3 months of treating him like that... somewhere along the line she started getting it back, and... they were in love again and NO WAY was she pulling out. (The Mom just smiled.) Not saying that you are even able to DO all that. Just a little picture, to put in the back of your brain. Maybe when he goes to bed... in whatever bed he chooses... go tuck him in, give him a backrub? Maybe send a bucket of treats to work... whatever works. It isn't about who is right and who is wrong. It isn't about Buck or Cory or who sleeps in what bed or who takes out the garbage. Its about feeding the relationship. It's your life - and only you know the full story - but I'm just tossing this out there... food for thought. (I've been married 20+ years - my parents, for over 50. ) [/QUOTE]
