- Ah, a real problem. My wife and I do a lot of that--protecting the
- other's feelings. We're trying to reach a state where we acknowledge
- the other's feelings without any real obligation to buy into them.
-
- If your husband is protecting your feelings, he is, in effect, denying
- them. I have no idea what's right for you. We have sought professional
- help with this. Would your husband feel ok about that?
