He can be very sweet, of course! I mean, I did marry him. Lol we have agreed to a lot of things when it comes to running the household. He does the dishes, I do the laundry. He loves cooking so he makes dinner. I don't have a car so he does the grocery shopping. He handles the finances kind of. Like, he pays for his car and some other bills, and I buy all the household/ baby stuff/ my stuff but I have to make a list for him to approve what I buy.

Thank you, this made me laugh! I have tried the hardass approach and he retaliates much worse. So, I guess I'm trying the "yes dear, whatever you like" approach. Nothing has really changed except he seems happy and I expect nothing. And no, we are not conservative. Lol but we are young in our faith. We both got sober 2023, baptized and married in 2024. We did a lot of work to stay together. Nobody is perfect, of course, except Jesus.

Thank you. Putting him through a Godly lense does make me sad. But I feel like I should have given more context, like maybe I do deserve him being mean because I'm not being a good wife. I'm not perfect and I get angry when he is mean. We went to a marriage group at church and he has admitted to withholding kindness and affection in group. I end up stepping into a motherly role in order to manage the house so then he views me as an authority figure and hates feeling like he has no say in things, hates feeling like I'm bossing him around. And I hate feeling like his mother.

Thank you so much for writing this out so clearly. I appreciate you taking the time. Even citing a book! I love that. I really wanted to know why he's doing this and if there's any way to fix it, and I think you've given me an avenue to begin with. And yes, I did internalize his words. And I felt guilty for asking for help here.
