Thank you all. I am married to a 61 year old Mama's boy and have been for 39 years. Every once in a while I am compelled to talk about the slight he has given me all these years. Yesterday he acted like I asked for a million bucks when I asked him to save a seat for me and his sister at the nursing home party. He went an hour and a half early!

He still won't admit how things are and tells me I have the problem. My therapist knows him well and has discussed that wierd relationship with me. He advised me once that my husband would never change or acknowledge the problem.

Mostly, I accept that it's how things are, but sometimes it gets the best for me.....especially when I'm having some of my own problems. (like I have been having lately) My speaking of something he is in denial about made him very angry......gee, am I saying it's my fault?

The next time he complains to me about one of my three sons, I may have to say, "at least they aren't Mama's boys". Ok, I know that would be mean. I'm feeling mean right now, as well as hurt and sad and lonely.

Thanks for encouraging me to talk more about it.
