[quote=Anonymous][b][quote=Anonymous]So difficult and I really love the guy! He micro manages everything I do, always listens to my phone conversations, putting away things before I am done with them and driving me crazy. Help! [/quote][/b] My retired husband is the same. I (secretly) call him Glady Kravitz, the busybody neighbor on Bewitched. Remember our estrogen levels go down, while theirs go up. I have found the best way to deal with the micromanaging and fussiness is to be out of the house. Start at the gym, home to shower, then to the market and errands. Sometimes i drive through Starbucks and sit in my car listening to books on Audible. I am home at 4 or so and start dinner and am better able to be patient and loving. He will get used to your absence if you are consistent.[/quote]
