My Husband is so self-centered and it is making me crazy! If I hear one more wonderful thing he has done or how good he is at something I am going to scream. How can I change the way I'm feeling about him? I'm almost at my wits end and don't know how to calm myself, other than just "stuffing" the feelings, as I have ALWAYS done! Thanks for letting me vent!

How long have the 2 of you been married?
You might try saying something silly, about how his awesomeness has overwhelmed you or something. Maybe it will embarrass him and he'll get the idea to cool it. Or maybe it will start a big fight and you can get it off your chest.

What is he doing that is so wonderful? Is it daily? Is he lacking attention and is calling out for it? After a while that would get old.

Mine does that.. everytime he does something, like emptying the trash or the dishwasher, it is like as if he achieved something major. I am thinking if I would comment out loud all the things I'm doing all day for everyone else, I would be talking all day.. Maybe you can tell him that he did a good job .. or just try to ignore what he says

He sounds quite insecure. People who brag tend to be insecure. Its how they hide it. If they were secure, they wouldn't feel the need to shove things in your face, and they'd let them speak for themselves.

Ack...I left my computer open and on my message when the phone rang! He saw it and I should have had it out right then, but didn't. I convinced him it was a pop-up...he knows nothing about computers.
Funny, tho, I heard less yesterday about his awesome golf playing that I have in years! He is always turning the conversation back to him..just the way he is I guess. I'm coping and waiting to go back to my daughters house! |

Maybe he's just trying to make you like him more? I dont know, I could be wrong. Maybe he senses how you're feeling and he doesn't know why so he's feeling inadequate. You should always be open when discussing your relationship with your significant other. Stuffing feelings will always make you feel like you want to "scream".

Thank you for this better perspective., Rose. It is making me see him in a better light and, therefore, not making me so crazy!! lol

I always thought this was just something men did. I've started to point out the stuff I do. It hasn't stopped him, but it makes things more even
