That's what I think, and I'm not afraid to say it. |
OK, let me address your concerns openly and honestly for the first time. I am a strong willed person, and always have been, causing my mother to say that I thought I was the mother when I was a kid. I don't think this is necessarily a bad thing. It has brought a lot of good things to my life. My husband knows this, and I think this is one of the reason he loves me. And I love him and have lots of respect for him. He is always growing. He thirsts after knowledge. He can't wait to get back to school, just so he can grow more rapidly. I love this about him. That doesn't mean that I am blind to his irrational side. He has it. His irrationality comes a lot from his upbringing, and the fact that he has never really looked at his world views with a critical eye. My irrationality usually comes from emotion. We know these things about each other and that is why we help each other to grow.
My husband and I had a long talk about circumcision, and he went from saying he wouldn't be able to play and hold his unclean son to asking me to tell him all the bad and good things on both sides. I have decided that I don't want to circumcize my son. But our discussion together is still open, and we still have a lot of time to work through it.

If you had read my posts, you would know that my husband DOES win arguments, when he's right, and that the only time it may be unfair is when we simply cannot agree, and I do what I think is best. This doesn't happen often.

Yes, where it comes to his irrational traditions, I want him to start using his brains. What's wrong with that? I never said he didn't use his brain in other circumstances.

tandeetaylor, maybe you are not familiar with the concept of "trolling".
Its main purpose is to make you mad.
Alexander's Horse is a master and venerable teacher to all us trolls.

I knew what a troll was, but I guess I just always assumed that it was an anonymous person who would come for awhile and then leave again without ever coming back. I didn't know that someone who you can imagine as a real person could be a troll, and I seem to remember having respect for AH in the past. I guess I was just ignorant about who he is (obviously).
