[quote=Anonymous]Yes I have a similar dynamic with DH. We have been working on it. He’s improved but it’s an ongoing work in progress.

It’s like he was just conditioned growing up to not consider others, ask if something works, acknowledge others for their effort or teamwork to make something work. He is a good guy at heart but was just so blind to so many things. He used to be really defensive but over ten years of marriage has slowly come to understand why communication and collaboration are important.

As a side note I see how this is what he was modeled in his own family growing up. To this day his mom will come over and sort through his drawers and fold his laundry if we let her. She would also do it and not mention it and be like the little I visit me fixer in the background. I love my mil but she coddles her kids to no end. My fil comes and goes as he pleases without a word to anyone. I’ve never heard her protest.

Anyway, these changes take time but they are definitely worth voicing for the sake of our relationships and our kids. [/quote]
