It Takes Someone Else to Make Things Clear

Isn't it funny....I can say the same thing, the same way (or a thousand different ways) over the course of more than a decade, but all it takes is someone on the outside to say it once? DH hears the truth from others, but not from the person he is living it with? DANG, it makes me crazy...

Doesn't matter how it happened, but maybe, just maybe, DH's OCD regarding SD18 may finally be starting to show some cracks.

I can hope...

I know, right?

If I say something to DH, he gets all defensive and I'm nagging or being unfair to the Two Princes.

If his mom or dad say the very.same.thing to him, he sits up and takes notice.

It used to piss me off royally. Now I'm just thankful someone else sees it, and they don't hesitate to tell him what's what.

Ditto that. We have gone rounds about this same thing. I dont know what I'm speaking of, apparently. When someone else tells him the same thing, he believes it. Whatever. Very frustrating.

it's infuriating. my friend was having marriage trouble a couple years ago. i told her exactly what i thought was going on and what she needed to do. she didn't listen. instead she paid a counselor, and the counselor charged her to tell her EXACTLY what i had already told her. dumb ass.

same thing with fdh's stupid friend. her son was being abusive to her. i told her to get a PPO on him. she ignored me. the next day, her bf told her to get a PPO on her son. she said "you're right, that's exactly what i need to do. i'm going to do it first thing in the morning!" stupid bitch.

eye rolls to both of them.
