[quote=Anonymous]The serenity prayer might be helpful: God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can and the wisdom to know the difference. Work on sitting with your anxiety about his anger while your husband is driving and work on accepting that he is not going to change and you cannot make him change. I don't blame you for being upset about the driving and about the politics but I can hear you wanting desperately to change him and that's a dead end. Give up. FWIW my husband's insecurities cause him to do annoying stuff, too, but I try to bracket that and keep it separate from me in my mind (does that make sense?). I also make sure I set some boundaries and keep some space for myself. But accepting that he wasn't going to change has helped a lot. We have quite an affectionate relationship most days - but it requires me letting go of some things. Good luck! [/quote]
