Thank you Spazkat. But I may have omitted all the times I did order him around.

I just feel like a bad wife. He said he couldn't wait to get back to work. People there act nicer than I do.

When he wants to do something, somehow I'm always the one who "won't let him." I try to figure out how I'm not letting him (play guitar, work out, whatever). All I can figure out is that I interrupt him by wanting to (GASP) TALK to him.
