> Aren't you afraid of the dynamics involved?
I had an epiphany a couple of years ago about my choices in partners. Then I picked a man I wouldn't have taken a second look at prior to that epiphany. I've been abused emotionally and physically in the past, shouted at, had my phobias used against me, the whole nine yards. In the last two years with the man who turned out to be everything I never knew I wanted, there has not so much been a harsh word. Our dynamic is regarded by friends and mental health professionals alike with a great deal of confusion and skepticism, but we do manage to have a mellow interaction that is entirely free of fear of each other. 'Tis a very strange thing, this peace and contentment ;)

> But at an open house at my son's school, my husband made a passing remark about his two children. Well, we only have one child. He meant me. It's not the best dynamic, at least in our house. :(My last husband once took me to a party and told me, in front of everyone, "I live with you. I see you all the time. I don't understand why I should pay attention to you in public." After that, while I hadn't exactly been the life of the party, NO ONE would talk to me. I nearly slapped my husband that day, and I surely would have slapped yours for the comment he made!
