Felt this because I was *that* husband in my former marriage- withholding small stuff because I didn't have the courage to bring it up. Which eventually snowballed to bigger issues.

Ooh, not having the courage to bring things up is it. I can see that in my ex so much. He was so insecure about not having things all together that he’d lie often, both to me and to others in front of me. It was a problem.

Well done. My wife and I never had a daughter (we have two wonderful adult sons) and I’d be proud to have a daughter like you. Never stop being awesome!
