[QUOTE="keista, post: 461391, member: 11965"] [B]CrazyinVA[/B], you just described my husband to a *T* It took 10 years of marriage for him to utter the words "I'm sorry" to me, and I only manged to get him to do it for a few small insignificant infractions like bumping into me, or eating the last (whatever) that I was saving. Even when I didn't get *angry* and calmly and rationally explained that he did something I took offense to (leaving an open can of tuna in the fridge, using ALL my backup razors to shave his beard), he'd get all sorts of defensive and start putting the blame on [B]ME[/B], and then even adding in all sorts of other issues to the mix. It was a constant no win situation. Even now, HE left me, HE walked out the door of his own free will, HE does NOT contact the kids, HE has NOT come and picked up all the things he claims he's entitled to (I've gladly offered them up) and yet he's [B]accusing me of TAKING[/B] everything from him. I wish I had something positive to tell you. in my opinion it falls in one of the "personality disorder" categories, but also in my opinion those are driven by even deeper mental health issues. Yes, it can get "fixed" but only if SHE recognized there is a problem and is willing to fix it. Like I said, took husband ten years of marriage to me to even minimally adjust, and even then it wasn't 100% or permanent - just enough to keep some peace in the house. ((((HUGS)))) [/QUOTE]
