OP here.  No, not at all.  I am not into controlling things like that. The weirdest example I can come up with is me doing the easter bunny responsibilities and DH taking credit; but DH is like that about a lot of things, mostly intangibles. To elaborate, I make plans for the kids, and DH will either try to sabotage it, or claim he did everything to make it happen. Bizarre.  There is no simply enjoying something as a family.  Another example: DH monopolizes conversations and expects me to do all the background work to make it happen (ie: having a meal together, but I am the one who plans/cooks/cleans/serves it).  His family or origin is VERY old fashioned, obviously - that is just one example - but I did not want to get stuck on one example, as DCUM tends to do.  DH seems to resent me for a lot of things, it is weird. I had a different upbringing, grew up with an enormous family and lots of socialization (whether or not I was up for it - but I don't want to get stuck on that) and DH grew up moving a lot, so I think he hates that my cousins are the same age as my kids, etc. Again, ot sure how to explain this - DH jockeys for attention if my cousins (their kids) do the same sport/hobby/whatever as my kids, over which they connect - DH will chime in "oh, did you know (DH's cousin) does THIS?!" Yes, it's weird. [/quote]
