[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not being able to fully embrace one of my rediscovered passions. I get to participate but only to the extent HE sees fit. I didn’t realize how insecure he was till now. I need to figure out how to remedy this so I can do what I want—I let him do whatever makes him happy, so I feel it’s really not a lot to ask. It’s a low point because it’s not just about the drudgery of kids and work and expected stuff—it’s me feeling UNexpectedly stifled and controlled but not wanting to compromise our relationship, and that’s a pretty heavy thing to carry.[/quote]

What is the rediscovered passion?  Why does DH protest?[/quote]

Theatre. He has things he doesn’t want me doing, even though none of it’s real. So I could land a coveted role but have to turn it down because there might be a romantic arc to it or the character might be too “slutty.” (For the record, I have boundaries about certain things too!)  I get the discomfort but he’s been in much more compromising positions through work and has made responsible judgments, so why can’t he trust me to do the same?[/quote]
