[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, I have learned to submit or pick my battles more carefully. We were in a lot of stupid power struggles earlier in our marriage (after the honeymoon period and when kids were in grade school). It made him very unhappy (me too although I was less conflict averse) and I really loved him and wanted to stay married and I have a great career where I get to lead and be in control. We just had a lot of ugly fights and I had to win. So I in the process of therapy was learning to let go in several ways and as I mellowed he did too. [b]I am no doormat[/b], but yes I am more respectful and careful with my words. And he has mellowed and is kinder and submits to me too so it was a good choice for me. [/quote]

You're not kidding. You sound like a major control freak.[/quote]

You know, what if I was? I had my reasons,  I worked on myself and we are better. She was asking if it was possible or worth it, (I  think) and I was sharing my story. You sound like you lack empathy and are pretty judgmental.[/quote]
