Thanks! A hug (even virtual) is much needed. He likes to say that there's nothing wrong with him and it's just me being too sensitive or fragile. I'm glad to hear that I'm not reading the situation wrong. I'm sure I could handle things differently, and I'm constantly reading books/articles on how to respond appropriately to rude outbursts, and try their techniques. It's the part about forgiving and moving forward that is so difficult for me. I need help with being able to love my husband and treat him with the compassion he needs, all while trying to push back feelings of bitterness and anger for his cruel words.

Thanks again for the hug... I needed that.
