[QUOTE="Lil, post: 631152, member: 17309"] Childofmine, thank you - really. My husband has told me I was babying him. He had stopped "offering advice" some time ago. I told him what I had realized and he said, "That's why I stopped giving him advice. He'll figure it out and if he wants advice he'll ask." Truly, I didn't see what I was doing until your post today. I'm going to try very hard to back off. I may have to sit him down and tell him I realized I was treating him like a kid, not a grown man, and that I'm going to try not to anymore. I think if I don't, he's going to think I'm mad at him...if I just stop telling him what to do it'll seem like I've quit talking to him. lol But in all seriousness, when I wrote my last post, the minute I wrote it, I felt better. My shoulders unclenched. I feel...lighter. I may talk with my husband about the "proof" he's looking for work. Maybe instead we should just say, "no money-no car" and leave the rest up to him. If he wants money or to use the car, he'll find work. If not, at least we aren't going crazy thinking about it all the time. Like I said, things to think about. [/QUOTE]
