[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our 5yo DC is getting really into chess.  This morning DC said he wanted to play chess with me.  DH quickly interjected, "No, you can't play chess with your mom."  He feels that I will bring down DC's game since I am not as good.  I told DH that I would like to get better and anyway it's just for fun.  DH got angrier and told DC, "If you play with your mom, I will not play with you at all today."  Then DH told me, "it's pathetic that you don't realize what is best for him as a mother."

This is just an example of a very frequent interaction between us.  We have had many conversations about it and nothing changes.  How should I handle this going forward?[/quote]

OP here.  Quick update- we went to couples counseling today.  The therapist asked us to talk about what has been happening over the past week.  I recapped the chess argument above.  The therapist's response was, "well did you agree to that previously?"  Then told my husband that he should work to get things in writing from now on so that we are all clear.  I feel like I'm going crazy.[/quote]
