[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks, all, for talking some sense into me. He’s not a bad guy and it’s not worth blowing up my marriage over. Maybe some more marital therapy would be a good idea.

I especially appreciate the person who says that he a person is not the sum of his mistakes. He has tried hard to fix the MIL thing but at his core, when attacked, he is a hippy dippy, conflict adverse wimp. I did know this when I married him (stupidly hoped it would change). [/quote]

NP - I agree with most of the other PPs here in that I wouldn't divorce over this.  But I think that, if you have to accept that this is just "who he is" and know that he won't defend you, then he has to accept "who you are" and know that you will defend yourself and your family.  I know -- believe me -- how much it sucks to think that your spouse has a particular trait that's important to you, and to find out that he actually doesn't and you'll have to be that person for yourself.  But it is good to know that you can rely on yourself to have your own back.[/quote]
