Husband gets annoyed if we talk

[bbyrd009]

The "cold German man" thing sounds like an excuse to me.

Well, it describes a type; analytical, prolly pretty intelligent--a possible minus for our purposes here--unique self esteem issues, dictatorial, self assured, committed. To something else, at the moment. The 'perfect mate' he is looking for is a devoted minionesse, and you are apparently not interested in ...catering to this?

I don't like that he tells you to shut up. That phrase should not be used between people who love and respect each other. :/

Ditto. It isn't. You have a big problem. You have no hand. Even minionesses recog their hand to play. You have a hand, too (the 1/2 of the kingdom thing was just a reply to 'poor me' understand; I dont believe in divorce either), and you simply have to play it, girl can we talk. If you're de facto separated now already, understand why Italian girls go home to visit mom so much?
