[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 191936, member: 3419"] Oh, Kjs, {{hugs}} You need to put a plan in place for you and your husband. Put it in writing. Tell him you want to meet with-him for a pow wow. I would have been in counseling way b4 this. Maybe you have been? In the plan I would work out an agreement about the TV. My husband and I agreed b4 we were even married that there would be no TV in the bedroom. Period. He tends to bring the laptop in there but if I want to go to sleep, it will be turned off. We have similar hrs, so that helps. Your schedules are difficult under any circumstances. with-a difficult child it only gets worse. Have you asked husband why he leaves the rm to talk to difficult child? Does he think you're going to interrupt the conversation? My husband doesn't fix anything, either. Every now and then I can get him to help me if I'm in the middle of something and I shout because I'm going to drop it. Literally. :) We pay for a handyman. Then husband complains about the price. I tune him out. I'd rather have the work done. (We can put it on a credit card.) Can you leave your difficult child home alone for 2 hrs while you and husband go to a movie? Or can you find a movie that all 3 of you want to see, and will difficult child behave? Personally, I love going out alone. I go to B&N for a chai and to read, or I'll go to a local restaurant and have lunch and a glass of wine. Most of the time I call a friend, but not always. It makes a big difference. Wish I lived closer. *I'd* see a movie with-you. :) [/QUOTE]
