[quote=Anonymous]Honestly, I see two problems.

1.  Your husband is being an ass.

2.  You may be "right", but you've made it impossible for him to admit that because of the way you are handling this.  He is a guy.  Guys need to be right about guy stuff.  And generators definitely fall into that category.  You could have handled this from the beginning by simply explaining that the generator was making too much noise.  You could have offered to help him move it so that the baby could sleep.  You could have told him in a very non-confrontational way that the smell is making you sick and that you realize that maybe you are overly sensitive to the fumes, but it is really bothering you.  Instead, you chose to make ridiculous threats.  And you emasculated him.

Basically, it sounds like two very immature people with absolutely no conflict resolution skills.  I've been married 25 years.  If you can't solve problems like this without threats and intimidation, your marriage won't last.  A generator is nothing compared to the challenges you'll face if in a long term marriage.[/quote]
