<font color="purple">Thank you Grace. I get what you are saying, even though it is not how I feel, I do understand that for him it is a loving expression of our love and marriage.

I guess I will just have to leave it at that. I will try not to bring it up to him because it is his feelings that get hurt, not mine. When I go back to therapy next month I will try to re-examine this issue with my therapist.
