There is no reply button on lying for some reason You have got a good insight to my husband D!! He is controlling, jealous, does go into sulks if doesn't get own way, has problem letting go of things and people(kids), doesn't listen or just pretends to then goes and does what he wants anyway >: My daughters just turned 18 it only been few days and can see she hasn't changed can feel things are going to blow again but told him she is all his now! I gave him a solution but he didn't do it. He's like the little girl with the curl: when his good he's very very good but when he's bad he's horrid! but I love him and he says he loves me too just wish he could see his faults but he's that kind who thinks he is ok and everyone else is the problem.

Hello Shirlann The reply option is to the right of my reply In any event...you mentioned 2 key factors to any relationship finding its way through the storms of life....that being you love him and he loves you There is not one perfect male or female on earth. We are unique individuals and we all come with a few rough edges. It is all about smoothing the edges out as much as we can either with love or with pure determination. Your situation is not to original. Parenting is a hard job to share and share equally. WHen both parents like to drive the car...it can be a battle at best. It does however take an understanding on both parts to allow the other take the wheel also. Having an 18 year old these days can be challenging for the most agreeable parenting so cut your hubby and yourself some slack. Another key in your relationship is that you two are communicating through conversation and your minds are working together. They may not be agreeing but at least the line of communication is there. Just hold tight and stick to your guns now and then...he will appreciate the effort and may even be willing to let you take the lead out of his own exhaustion in dealing with an 18 year old. Life can be difficult when we are dealing with more than our own thoughts and ideas. Huggz~D~
