Quote From: ssmith_13I for one agree that it seems that some of the men have no self esteem of are not happy with their own life or career and end up taking it out on their wives! These men all seem to have little patience, though some of the women guests could as well open their ears and listen better. In my own situation since the communcation sucks, I tend to try and read between his lines! Does it work, sometimes, and sometimes not! 
 
I seek advice on what to do with a hubby of 6 years who know that he is working for himself and quit smoking a year ago, seems further and further withdrawn from connection to me - continually says he does not care, angry or has something spiteful or disrespectful to say everyday.........its too hard on the head and I am not sure I can continue to play strong one trying to salvage this marriage. 
 
Why do men get cokcy after the get what they think they want and act as if you had no part to play in it..i gave up my freedom so he can have a work van.we have only one vehicle now, feel i need permission to use it and so the saga continues...............i ask viewers whats wrong with men who seem so low on themselves that they turn it all on to their partners and even try to create a wall between wife and her adult child....that is not his...... 
I once dated a man who constantly said things bad about himself. He then started to be critical on me. Whatever I do or however I look was not good enough. I told him that he should start thinking positively about himself. Then, he can start to think positively about others. He didn't change and I stopped seeing him. Women can give men love, good cooking, a clean house, children and many other things. But we can't give a man his self-esteem. He has to earn it himself. You are better off without such a person. A woman can be happy by herself.
