[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Based on the examples you have given, I think you need to return to a counselor with your DH and tell him that these things need to stop. Your preference would be that he do it, and you will give him X amount of time to do so. After that, you will calmly but politely say the things that need to be said to them. You understand that he would prefer that you not, but in cases where you or your children's mental/physical health is concerned, you can't let it go on. So you ARE GIVING HIM THE DECISION as to whether he will do it or you will, but one of those things must happen.[/quote] +1 Tell him that if he won't say no, you will, and he needs to think hard about which option will ultimately be worse for him. Meanwhile, start practicing basics like "No, thank you," "That won't work for us," etc.[/quote]
