Betty, of course its easy to only see one side and not understand why the other side can’t see it our way… its just human nature that even starts wars.
Frustration is abundant on both sides and can usually only be overcome by a long process of discussion, open mindedness, patience, and honesty with ourselves which is just as important as with our partners. As much as we CD’s would like too, it just can’t be rushed. People resist change and do so slowly thus frustration happens.
It has taken my wife and I over six years to get where we are now but we have found a balance that works for us. It wasn’t always easy but she understands my needs and I understand her concerns. When a couple can find common ground to grow it really bonds each other together. We are closer now than ever in our long marriage. The trick is to not give up, so please Betty don’t give up on your husband. The rewards can be wonderful for both of you.
