Tracii's point is well taken. Of course, everyone's relationship is a bit different. However u 2 make it work is ok!
Even tho I didn't begin dressing until after my ex and I split, I accept much of the blame for our break up. For years, my "sweet" wife became more and more demanding. I hated the whining and complaining. But, I hated the emotional fites even more! So, I gave in to her on the issues I didn't feel were worth going to war over. Most of it was about money. That became a pattern in our relationship. When I gave in and she pushed all the more. In time I resented both her and myself.
In therapy, our counselor quickly pointed this out. She suggested instead of arguing with her, telling how her belittling and nagging bothered me. When I began doing that, I felt better about my wife and our relationship. But, my now spoiled ex hated me standing up to her suddenly.
It was too late for me and my marriage. But, it may NOT be for u. Believe me, if u let your partner walk all over u, it will affect your relationship sooner or later!
My issue is with marrieds that stay together long after the love and sex has gone. I feel life is too short for that! But, that's an issue for another thread.
