[quote=Anonymous]I am really frustrated with my DH and looking for advice.  I have been working over the past 6 months to not fight with my husband, admit my shortcomings, and work on them.  But DH does not.  It's like he doesn't believe he has any.  My biggest complaint is that he doesn't apologize when he is wrong, or that he has hurt me or our children, instead he will laugh (it is like a nervous laugh that he may not be very conscious of) and DEFEND himself.  For example, this morning he's brushing DD hair and hurting her.  Instead of saying sorry, oops, I'll be softer, he LAUGHS.  How does that make her feel?  She ran out crying.  I've talked to him about it dozens of times.  Nothing changes.  Later we are in the kitchen having lunch and he goes to open the dishwasher.  I say it's running.  IT'S RUNNING!  He opens it.  Ugh ok, close it and restart it, I'm thinking.  But instead he gets so defensive.  "I didn't hear it!  You didn't tell me it was running until I opened it!"  Just say "oh oops" and move on.  Every little thing turns into something much larger than it needs to be.  What else can I do to help him have some empathy?  [/quote]
