Dear Airene:

Good to read from you. I didn’t know if you wanted the  reminder of this thread when  I posted to you here a  couple of  days ago, but  figured you wouldn’t respond  if  you didn’t  want  to. I missed reading from you, this is why I posted.

In your response above you invited  thoughts about this, I do have a  thought, a question, really: how do you manage your anger at your husband? Your reasons for staying  in the marriage  are  rational enough for me  to understand. What I would like to understand, if you will be so kind as to explain it to me, is how do you interact  with him day after  day, night after  night when angry with him, or numb… isn’t it difficult and  wouldn’t you like  to be free of such anger/ numbness?
