i have come a long way in dealing with him and rcently spoke with a friend who has had relationship counselling with her dh who is very like my dp. She was telling me about making them feel like stuff is their idea and humouring them a lot. it goes against the grain tbh. but it works.
Right now though dp is stressed with work and a few other issues re. his children and their mother and OH MY GOD he is a SWINE.
He has a total woe is me thing going on.
He really thinka he has it hard when he doesn't nwhich i'm happy to pretend is the case for the sake of not arguing but he is snappy, snipey and the whole sodding world is on his shoulders it seems.
Any further tips?
