[QUOTE="donna723, post: 260599, member: 1883"] I think it will take a lot more than your friend just developing a backbone! That may make her feel a little better but I'll bet it doesn't really change anything. This guy needs some serious help! For one thing, he sounds like a first-class 'hoarder' like some of the people who've been on "Dr. Phil"! Anybody who buys so much cereal that it's stacked up to the rafters has a real problem! And the other ... I don't know what you call it, the psychological term, but on that part, he sounds exactly like my ex-husband, and that stuff will drive you crazy! What HE wanted was all that mattered - how it affected anyone else didn't matter to him in the least. It was totally selfish behavior. Everything was about HIM and his personal comfort and having his every desire fulfilled - and everybody else be damned! When our daughter got married, it was only because we threatened his life that he didn't walk her down the aisle jacketless and with his shirt sleeves hiked up to his elbows ... because he was more [I]comfortable[/I] that way! He spent half his paycheck on silly stuff HE wanted while the bills went unpaid because he "worked every day and he was entitled"! He didn't hesitate to put people on the spot and ask for extravagant inconvenient favors, everything from borrowing money to using their car - because HE wanted it and he didn't care how it affected them. He felt like they owed it to him and that's all that mattered to him! It boils down to being totally self-centered and selfish and caring not one tiny iota about anyone else! Sound familiar? I have no idea what you call this kind of behavior, but it's absolutely crazy-making to be married to someone like that. And it won't change just because your friend stands up to him. [/QUOTE]
