[quote=Anonymous]You need to speak up when he is being selfish and not thinking of his family first. The running thing--you should say, as he is gearing up to run, you had all afternoon to go running, but decide to go running now instead of taking this rare opportunity to have dinner with the kids? You have to raise this sort of thing over and over--when it happens. And make it clear that he needs to plan this sort of thing in advance. He will get angry and defensive, but keep it up. He will grudgingly and slowly change. Also, you need to spell out that he needs to take initiative in building a relationship with his children. He can't read your mind.[/quote]
