I may be repeating myself, please forgive me, but I have no intention of reading through this entire thread to make sure.....

"Don't fix it if it aint broke"

Your husband sees nothing in his behavior that's broken, so in his mind, he has zero fixing to do.

i.e. That stubbornness as you call it, it's going nowhere.
Me i prefer to call it something else, but PC would sensor it.



So you can either accept how things have become or take the steps YOU can take to change them.

This is the thought process that helped me realize I made the right decision in leaving my ex, waiting for him to take the steps that would lead to our relationship improving was like waiting for hell to freeze over while pigs fly around sprinkling happy pixie dust everywhere.

You can only adjust your behavior, your reactions, and bending to his will may very well keep your marriage together, but it most certainly will break your spirit in the process.

As mentioned in the previous post, it comes down to what YOU accept within your marriage.
