Powerless is a word he has used. What does he want power over? Not really anything to “power”. He also always says everyone is disrespecting him. He fails to give examples. Everything is a disrespect in his eyes. And not just us, cashiers and servers are also usually his complaints
He always wants to discipline the kids. He was raised in a very strict house. I would say abusive and have told him anything he learned from his parents should be forgotten because they were terrible.
I am a parent that likes to talk about situations as they come up and don’t punish them for everything. He thinks punishment is the only way to learn. I completely disagree. My kids are both very good so I would say I have done something right and my way is working. No need to alter it
What? He is new to their lives; deciding when punishment is appropriate is YOUR job not his.
Well I have ocd and a perfectionist so my rigid way of doing things has benefited me substantially. Very rarely have I found someone that has a better way of doing things. Granted I am all for listening but he brings nothing of substance to the discussion
Your "rigid ways of doing things" is a root cause of your previous relationship failures.
I've asked this question before in other threads but received no response: does this man have any good points? You have yet to mention one. If yes, what are they? If no, why are you with him?
Question...do you really even need a man around? Why?
I mean, he's clearly very unhappy. You hold him in contempt. It feels like neither of you are getting any joy out of this. So why are you continuing to do it?
What? He is new to their lives; deciding when punishment is appropriate is YOUR job not his.
Agreed. And I hold firm to this
