This is helpful to me; for the past year and a half, my (current) wife has been playing the role of " petty tyrant " in my life, and been a real thorn in my side. The idea that this is " required " makes it a little easier to bear. I just hope it doesn't have to go on too much longer:) Michael Souther Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
