The truth is: we all have strengths and weaknesses - the idea is not to compete with or control your [b]PARTNER[/b].  The idea of a PARTNERSHIP is to help one another and be a whole team greater than the sum of it's parts.  Looking at your partner as someone you have to dominate/control and can't simply help and trust in their help suggests to me that you might be happier if you can adjust the way you are "seeing" the relationship and situation.

The need to control is grounded in fear - what are you really afraid of OP? Dig into that OP - pull that thread and see where it takes you.[/quote]

I grew up in a pretty weird family - nothing terrible, just very weird parents. I think deep inside that I am somehow flawed, and will never be able to find a "normal" partner. However flawed my attitude, H is not a good husband and partner, objectively (not terrible, but not good, too). I think I settled because I did not believe in anything better for me. [/quote]
