[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is very eye opening to me because I realize I am your husband. Not literally of course, I am a wife, but we have the same personality.

I am an introvert, with what many people would describe as a "hard shell". I am not affectionate or expressive. I am direct. I do not enjoy small talk and I never remember to say goodbye to anyone (even my children) when I am leaving. I love clever and sarcastic quips, and I make them frequently. I never ask anyone for help and I work my ass off.

My dh is very different from me. He is affectionate and expressive. He is liberal with compliments and praise. Our children say that I am always critical; I think my dh blows sunshine up their butts. My personality, I believe, makes him clingy, needy, and sensitive.

But let me tell you something, anonymously, that you may never hear from your husband. Behind my hard shell, I am so in love with my husband and children that it hurts. I feel so lucky to have my dh. He is amazing and perfect and would do anything for me. I know that my harsh exterior is difficult for him, so I try to remember to say nice things, to say thank you, to keep my criticism to myself. But it is hard. It is fighting against the entire sea of my personality. And I forget. I forget over and over again.

So I guess what I'm saying is, don't write off your husband. Make your needs known, go to counseling, prompt him to be better. But don't hate him. If he is like me, he loves you until the end of the earth. [/quote]

Thank you for posting this. I'm the exact same way and everyday is a battle for me to be more open. [/quote]
