I wish my dh was macho. Right now he's just a big wimp who doesn't cook.

I would say that I am (or at least trying to become) a man of steel and velvet. It is actually a book that I am reading by aubrey andelin. I highly recommend it. It has completely changed the way that I think about some things and reinforced others. If you like to read, pick it up...if you don't like to read...read it anyways!

Good show J... I'm not so good at sweet and soft, though I do try. My analytical mind insists on getting in the way of my "inner emotions." My CISD counsellor says that's a defense mechanism I've built to deal with bad stuff that happens.  Anyway, thank God I have a wonderful wife who mostly understands me, even when I don't deserve it.  -------------------- Ed is husband to Lisa (since 1983) Dad to Ricky, John, Erin and Kaitlin The Administrators of the Parenting Club take trolls and violators of the Terms of Service Agreement seriously.

Well done! I get in these ruts where I just don't want to deal with people... That's a common problem among my "archtype". Lisa doesn't let me, and she does it subtly, so I don't realize what she's done until I'm having a good time with friends and....

Yes I can agree with what Ed said But to deal with what he deals with day in and day out you have to be that way or you will loose it 100% and not come back. So I understand But he does have a soft side and I only get to see that  -------------------- Wife to Ed (Redchief)

It is funny because both Jess and I have set up defence mechanisms so we become cold to the outside world when bad things happen. Basically we go into our little cave, put up the walls to everyone else and just sit there for a while. It is something that we have each been doing since we were young to try and deal with what is going on outside of us. When we got together, we found that we could immediately open up to each other and expose our soft inner parts and could do so without the fear of being taken advantage of. We have both helped each other out with being able to break down those walls for good, even to the outside world. I used to be a very macho person who wouldn't let anyone in, but with Jess' help, I can now use my not so macho persona out in town and be ok with it.

Hey Ed...you're starting to sound like a softie there.
Brian is definitely a macho guy, sometimes more than I would like. It's nice when he kills bugs, changes light bulbs, takes out the trash, fixes things, etc... but not so nice when you argue with someone about how insensitive they can be and they come back with "yep sure am!" He has his moments where he says the sweetest, sensitive things, then the next week he irritates me with every non-sensitive thing he can pull off - I think he has PMS once a month  For example we're watching reruns of the show Friends last night, where Rachel found out that Ross had a one night stand, Ross said that he thought they were broke-up because she said she needed a break - anyways he basically poured his heart to her and kept trying to tell her how much he loved her and that it would have never happened had he not thought they were broken-up - anywhoo at the end of the whole episode he tries to kiss her and she tells him to leave because she basically can't trust him anymore - so Brian goes "Well I would have said fine if you don't want me then I'll go back to her, she'll take it again!" Um....huh? I just shook my head and got up and walked away from that one - boy can he be awful sometimes  He thought it was hilarious of course! -------------------- LeaAnn, wife to Brian (05/21/2005)
