We stare at each other weekly. I speak, he nods, agrees with everything and then does nothing expected of him because he didn't understand.
Have you been in a similar situation?
I did something akin to this for four years in my marriage (only substitute weekly screaming fights for staring). Then, we agreed to get divorced, at which point I was finally able to implement the plans we agreed to every week which he promptly sabotaged for four years.

- Mz 9y agoNah. I was married more than two decades. Actually, the first few years were quite good, which is why we gritted our teeth and put up with each other for so long: We kept holding out hope we could get that back.
- w4tson 9y agoI'm dying to know what the plans were now!
- Mz 9y agoWe were homeschooling our 2xE sons. Every weekend, we would agree to let me teach our oldest son math a certain way. Come Monday or Tuesday, the ex would reneg on the deal. Rinse and repeat. It was in the midst of our roughly 200th argument about teaching math to our son that I asked for a divorce. After that, the ex stayed out of my hair and let me teach as I saw fit. So, my 30 year old son, who likely has dyscalculia, understands math because his parents got divorced. Don't look at me that way. Math matters. Geez.
