Aaaaahhh! Join the club! I could have written your post. What I try to do, and had to do today, was just stay away from my hubby. Let him pine and moan by himself. I don't have to take on his feelings. It was tough because I was in the cleaning/organizing mood and could have used his help, but I did what I could by myself. Even the little I got accomplished makes me feel good.

Don't know about your hubby, but mine is stuck at 13 yrs of age, emotionally. GAWD!!! Wish he'd grow up already!! About the best I do most days is be polite to him when he starts his sniveling and ask him a question or two about why he's "feeling bad." He can answer them or not. If he says "I don't know," I tell him "If you don't know, then who does, Hun?" Then I move to another part of the house. I don't buy into his "I want my moooommyyyyyy" game. He doesn't say it but he sure acts it! ARGH!!! The man is 66 yrs old for crying out loud!

Maybe it's time for you to move into "tough love" mode, you think?
