Ladies. Stop, withholding yourself from your husband! You are harming your health and way more prone to depression.

After what I think has been a very rocky first year of marriage, my husband finally got through to me and I've discovered what he figured out awhile ago... I'm quite bossy.

Now, he has his own demons and I know he's been working very hard on them, so I know it's in both of our best interests for me to fix my problems too.

Enter "The Surrendered Wife". I googled "how to be less bossy" and "how to be less controlling" and this book came up. I read it in two days and I love it. I'm just starting out trying the methods and was curious if anyone else had read it or would be open to reading it and discussing it here.

The biggest revelation for me has been that almost everything I'm saying that I think is "helpful" is really just communicating to him I don't trust his abilities. Additionally, if I really want to have a traditional marriage (and not be constantly stressed out) I need to give up doing the household finances - this hasn't been broached yet because I also know he doesn't really want to do them, so I'm waiting for a good moment to explain that I can't do it anymore and I need his help.

Anyway, thanks for listening to this and I would welcome any productive thoughts!

Maybe she knew the wall was coming a lot earlier for her and she wised up due to a keen sense of self-preservation.

For women who have observed the unhappy zero-sum battle of the sexes, many feel that the modern world, for all its promises, has failed them.

Dickies is all over the place with their sizing now and the same size medium from 5 years ago is not the same. Like a weird medium/large size. Any idea on how to do it? Im seeing this blow dryer method but it sounds risky. Thank you in advance for any suggestions.
