[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think anyone has made the significant point that whatever [i]you [/i]may think about whose job it is to protect you, [i]your DH[/i] certainly thinks that is his job (unless he's a truly pathetic and broken specimen) and has likely put more thought into it than you give him credit for.[/quote]

+1  Our biggest fight when we were dating was when I was driving and picked up a stranded motorist who had run out of gas on the side of the road.  My now-DH was [b]seething[/b] for hours because he was so angry that I would do such a thing, and when we finally were able to have a conversation about it his reasoning was absolutely bonkers to me - [i]the guy was seated behind him in the car so he could have killed him before getting to me and he didn't have a clean line of sight and what if he had a weapon and and and[/i].

I was like, [b]"the weeping tiny gay guy in our backseat who cried all the way to the gas station about being dumped that morning?  That guy?"  But DH's mindset was so far removed from mine that I was really awakened to the extent that he's got his head on a swivel at all times.[/b]  Sees threats where I see none and firmly believes it's his job to handle them.

That guy was not a threat (and most people aren't), but if a threat materializes I promise DH believes it's his job to handle it.[/quote]
Well yeah, just because he’s a weeping tiny gay man, he’s still a a man, and a strange man inside your car at that. Gay men can be crazies, short men can be crazies, teenaged boys can be crazies. [/quote]

I’d be upset about this too.[/quote]
