OK - I've had a crap weekend with dh. Spent Sat night arguing with him (trying to talk but always ends in him going on the defensive). I've posted a couple of times on here and had some good advice. But...
I don't get any comfort from dh and all i seem to get is arguments (he is very argumentative and unreasonable with dcs as well). he never agrees with me on anything. what i think is missing is emotional support but i'm not really sure what i should expect in a relationship - AIBU? He is known for being an "individual" and i just think his arguments with me are all to do with him trying to assert himself all the time. i'm not a shrinking violet but i don't see its my job in life to make him wear what i want him to wear or share my opinions. i have though tried to consider his feelings, even going back to work full time so that he could get away from a really bad work situation. if he has become reliant on me, why does he keep arguing with me.
i really feel like i need more emotional support/love/care/attention - but i don't really know what it is reasonable to expect. I'd be really, really, grateful for any ideas - i don't know what to do next....
