I have been reading and posting for a month or so and find the Relationships section particularly fascinating and often very sad. However, I now find that I am standing up to my strong-willed DH rather more than I used to (not that I have ever been a doormat IYSWIM). He is a lovely, kind man, but has a strong sense of his own importance!
BTW, I just threatened to kick him in the bollox, for being rude (it was a joke though).
