Could you direct me to the post with the article on boundaries?

I will get the book "The Road Less Travelled"...I've seen it mentioned here a couple of times now. I'm pretty certain that he won't read it - he's not much of a reader but I would like to.

Thank you texdave for your help. I hope we can find some way to overcome our problems communicating. Its one area that Ive been feeling is missing in our relationship. It would be nice just to be able to have a conversation without having my opinions belittled or feeling like I'm bothering him. I have had conversations with other people, men and women, and have been treated with respect. Lately, though I find my self-esteem is so bad I've just stopped joining in conversations.

I've even thought to start treating him the same way he treats me. Maybe I should start criticising him for every little thing. Or tell him something that hes excited about is a dumb idea. I won't do this. But I'm tempted to.

Texdave -I apologize for laying all this on you. I'm hurt and venting.
