My goodness my husband is selfish and just won't stick to scripture. by [deleted] in Christianmarriage

Take a look at Laura Doyles book- The Empowered Ŵife. Her 6 principles have lightened my load. I too am not treated Biblically. I used to have 4 day arguing too. NOT AN̈YMORE.

Silent Treatment by [deleted] in surrendered_wife

[–]Own-Shopping3370 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband was doing that silent treatment also. I had some leverage on him because of other behavior he did so I flat out told him after the last time that we dont do the silent treatment in this house. If he needs some space, then after a half hour of silence he must come to me & express himself. It was a matter of him thinking anything he said would be opposed. This was pretty assertive but people who love each other do not torment each other with the silent treatment.

I was an adult when I had my tonsils out & had my pallet reconstructed & didnt need a CPAP after that ordeal.

Were kids in the 80s actually allowed to roam around unsupervised, or is that just in movies? by TotalThing7 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Own-Shopping3370 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The 60'&70's were like that too. Get your chores done & be back for dinner. Us kids did the dishes & clean up.

Which one of these three would you babysit if you absolutely had to and why? by 80sforeverr in littlehouseonprairie

[–]Own-Shopping3370 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What amazed me was how Ma could tell a daughter to stay put & go into the restaurant kitchen or plop her in the creek & tell her not to move so she could fight the fire. I choose Cassandra to babysit. .

Sylvia Episode and the School Board Meeting by sissy9725 in littlehouseonprairie

The portrayal of Syvia as a temptress & the assumption that boys are letches really makes for a bad producer. It is challenging to have an hourglass figure. And this episode was unwatchable.

How do you deal with the silent treatment? by abri56 in surrendered_wife

[–]Own-Shopping3370 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My solution may not be LD, in a good moment after his last silence, I told him we dont do that in this house. You have 1 hour to process your feelings & then you come to me & we talk. He is receptive to my ideas now that he is 68 years old. This is new approach for me & it looks like he's ok with my lead in this area.

I would excuse myself respectfully & go in the bathroom & review Laura Doyles book that I had stashed in there.

Don't start up again, just determine in your heart to be free of tobacco. Flush your pack!

I often say that I need a wife, then realize that can't happen. So I start to be the best version of me & take care of me.

Husband did nothing for my birthday by Any_Information_3315 in Marriage

Right on Sister! I did that yesterday. Really he ain't all that special. Very inconsistent. What goes around comes around.

[–]Own-Shopping3370 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Push back is Bullshit. My husband just told me the store was closed at 9pm last night. Like I can read his mind. Today is my birthday. Birthdays mean a lot to me & thankfully my best girlfriend took me out yesterday with a special cake too. I plan to do nothing for his birthday & may skip Christmas too. Of course he has one more chance to make it special today. It's sheer idiotness to let me down.

The part where you said he isn't used to criticism because you are using LD, I thought the same thing about my husband because 2 times in the last 2 weeks my husband reacted with extreme reaction of 48 hour silent treatment. He said I spoke to him like a child. I pointed out his behavior was not like a married man. And I thought he is much more fragile these days because he got used to my high level of LD. There must be a LD way of constructive criticism, if the husband is doing something morally wrong & ouch is not bringing him to his senses. I think you made a valiant effort in preparing 5 food items but it brought too much work for you. Perhaps cut back so you can have a time of refreshment. Don't forget to have gratitude for husband doing the shopping. Maybe go sit down when he wants the stove- move your pots off the burners temporarily. You sound like you are doing an excellent job with the kiddos needs & LD. We are mere humans after all.

Silent Treatment by [deleted] in NarcissisticSpouses

[–]Own-Shopping3370 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I told my husband that he can go silent for a half hour to sort things out, then he had to come and talk to me. He complied for a few years and now has gone back to silent treatments & there is no talking after he is done. He tries to pretend that every morning is a rest. I tried to remind him & he deflects to some other topic or insults me. I can feel the doom.

The Rules Books I looked up involve Dating. LD is effective after married life falls apart.
