When I met DH, I was attracted to him because he seemed to have a lot of boundaries, which is what I lacked. He used to, without hesitation, cut people dead if they made him uncomfortable or asked too much of him or he felt they were taking advantage. He was never embarrassed about stating when he was not happy or disliked something, and he never worried about causing a scene or not being liked. This made him appear strong to me.
Ten years later and I now realise I am married to somebody so rigid that they can never be wrong, who has never ever apologised, who is never afraid to threaten with a nuclear option, doesn't care if my friends or family like him, will lay down the law or walk off in public if I do something he doesn't like, will never ever compromise, and expects adult-type understanding of his boundaries from our toddler DC.
Is there any way this could be positive? What would you do if you were me?
