About this deal
But admitting that you hurt rather than lashing back curtails the fighting because it reminds your husband that his job is to love you, not to hurt you. A surrendered single is a woman who chooses to apply the principles of surrendering to her life so as to serenely attract a good man rather than desperately seek a mate. If I had trusted that my husband was earning as much money as he could, I wouldn’t have emasculated him by implying that I found him lacking ambition.
It didn’t seem fair to me that I had to work so hard to change while my husband continued to sit around watching television, but your husband will have to make big changes too.Other times I'm just too depleted to have a reasonable perspective, and the tiniest things start to bug me more than usual.

Imagine you wear a backpack every day, and inside it are all of your concerns, fears and instructions for your husband. If you're nervous about trusting your husband to take care of the finances, but long to relinquish the responsibility of juggling bills, try this experiment: For six months, give up control of the checkbook to him.He does more chores than ever (even the dishes), and seems happy to do them -- all because I say thank you. And then the big things: Wondering if you're unlovable, knowing that you're the only one you can count on, and always being on the lookout for that special someone.
