[quote=Anonymous]It’s just too much now. I can’t believe it’s gotten to this point. DH has always had an arrogant streak, but I overlooked it focusing on his good qualities. After being married for 15 years, it’s gotten worse. He truly believes his way of doing things is the only right way. He is driving me and our kid up the wall.

For instance, if I’m cooking he’ll point out I’m not using the right utensil. Mind you I’ve been cooking for years, we both cook. I’ll take the time to explain I actually have a specific reason why I’m using one utensil over the other. I remind him people have different ways of doing things. The point is, he would have known that had he thought to ask me instead of assuming I am clueless. Take this example and multiply it 5x per day in different scenarios. He just assumes people are idiots.

If I have an opinion about something that is entirely subjective he will impose his subjective view in the most obnoxious way to "correct" me. For example, we both saw a house. I thought it was poorly designed and I expressed my dislike of it. He tried to change my mind about it. I was super annoyed by this. I waited a day before I brought it to his attention. When I did, he explained he was trying to shed light on the matter for me. It’s my opinion on whether I like the design of a house or not. I am entitled to my opinion!

He has been saying for months that we are fundamentally different. I disagreed with him because I truly believed we were aligned at the core. Recently I have started to agree with him, and that scares me because now I feel like I don’t know him at all. It’s like someone removed my rose colored glasses and I’m left with this man who thinks he is always right and trying to make me feel like I am deficient in every way. What next? Try to reconnect? Go out separate ways? Live separately under one roof? Right now I’m angry and I want nothing to do with him. I want to rest,  reconnect with myself and heal from emotional damage I’ve inflicted on myself. [/quote]
