[quote=Anonymous]These posts are astounding me.

OP I am with everyone on child favoritism. It happens, it will pass, it sucks but you just have to get through it.

THAT SAID if your husband reacted to you touching his arm by harshly telling you to take your hands off them then there is something WRONG in your marriage.

Is there a history of inappropriate physicality between you two? That is simply not a normal reaction between spouses. It isn't an appropriate thing to do if you're in the middle of a fight but if you're in a neutral situation than grasping the other person's arm should not elicit a response like that. I don't even know what I would do if my DH talked to me like that after touching him. Not proud but I'm pretty sure I'd be crying myself to sleep and we'd be having a series of very serious conversations about it.

And before anyone tells me I'm being hypocritical I would ABSOLUTELY say the same thing if the genders are reversed. Non-violent touching between spouses should not be reacted to the same way I'd react to someone grabbing me in an unwanted sexual interaction at work or something.

OP I think you guys should go to therapy. I would even be considering divorce over something like that. I could not deal with my DH talking to me like that for touching his arm that is REALLY intense.[/quote]
