To me, the fundamentalists are crazy (as a group). No offense to any fundamentalists out there. I experienced a lot of hate while I was in; I still see it now that I am out. T said, "She's a TV character; she's not even real, and he carries that kind of hate. I just don't get it."

Our idols have feet of clay, but they can still help us. It was hubris that blew up the space shuttle Challenger, not lack of technical knowledge.
Anyway, awesome post and awesome session. Seems like your husband did get some perspective on things, so that's really great!

H actually told me that T served her purpose for him. He said he usually doesn't take other people's advice (he's right

). What he was looking for from T was confirmation as to whether or not he was totally burned out of his job. She confirmed he was not.
And yes, I would never put up with someone who a) argues over obviously necessary purchases, b) controls the money, or c) got involved in any kind of pyramid scheme. That's just me.

I think men and women think a whole lot differently about money and the "practical" things (if you can sit on the couch the couch is still viable); my husband use to does this thing with the trees and other plants in the yard; if there is a single green leaf, the plant's alive and well and doesn't need replacing, never mind that it might fall on the roof of the house

She said her H doesn't want to buy new things and she gets tired of it. I really don't know if he controls the money or not. It just sounds like it.
Then again, my H will hold on to underwear until it falls off his butt.
