[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How is it that he thinks you have a great marriage and yet you are secretly planning to leave him?

Are ya’ll still having sex?[/quote]

Because he’s emotionally clueless. I have told him several times over the years that I don’t think he respects me and that I don’t always like or appreciate the way he speaks to me. He always denies the lack of respect thing, his language improves, but then it always slips again. For instance, he loves to rub it in my face in front of our kids that they shouldn’t ask me for help on their math hw because he got such a higher score on the SATs. That’s genuinely his idea of a joke. I know he doesn’t really mean it spitefully (at least not completely) but I’m sick of overlooking that kind of thing. I’ve had enough.

Yes we’re still having sex bit not as often as we used to. Probably once a week.[/quote]

Wow, I pray you have better examples than that.  My wife and I tease each other all the time and you admit he doesn't mean it spitefully?  You sound super resentful and clearly even things like that are scratching at your insides.  I also can't help but wonder what HIS side of this whole story would sound like - since we're all assuming he's the horrible person you make him out to be[/quote]

Dude that’s actually a really disrespectful thing to say and she said she even told him that it hurts her feelings and he still does it.

If you are saying shit like that to your wife on the reg, she might be secretly planning to dump you too.[/quote]

Dear god, grow a thicker skin!!! First of all, her kids are 18 and 24 I think she said? How much math homework is being done that anyone can help with at this point?? Second of all, you could just as easily respond "that's true, come to me when you need help on [insert your area of expertise], that's where I'm a rock star." What's so hard about any of this?[/quote]

Don’t most hs seniors take math? I thought that was what she was referring g to...you don’t think that’s terribly rude and mean? To degrade your wife in front of your kids?[/quote]

Well, it's May. The kid is about to graduate. Most people, I don't care who they are, aren't that well equipped to help a high school senior with the kind of math they're doing. That's the "I'm never going to use this in real life" math. Plus, yes, grow a thicker skin. We're talking about SAT scores???!!! That you took 25 years ago? And you give a crap? [/quote]
