Young King Arthur was ambushed and imprisoned by the monarch of a neighbouring kingdom. The monarch could have killed him but was moved by Arthur's youth and ideals. So, the monarch offered him his freedom, as long as he could answer a very difficult question. Arthur would have a year to figure out the answer and, if after a year, he still had no answer; he would be put to death.
The question?....What do women really want? Such a question would perplex even the most knowledgeable man, and to young Arthur, it seemed an impossible query. But, since it was better than death, he accepted the monarch's proposition to have an answer by year's end.
He returned to his kingdom and began to poll everyone: the princess, the priests, the wise men and even the court jester. He spoke with everyone, but no one could give him a satisfactory answer
Many people advised him to consult the old witch, for only she would have the answer. But the price would be high; as the witch was famous throughout the kingdom for the exorbitant prices she charged.
The last day of the year arrived and Arthur had no choice but to talk to the witch. She agreed to answer the question, but he would have to agree to her price first.
The old witch wanted to marry Sir Lancelot, the most noble of the Knights of the Round Table and Arthur's closest friend!
Young Arthur was horrified. She was hunchbacked and hideous, had only one tooth, smelled like sewage, made obscene noises, etc. He had never encountered such a repugnant creature in all his life.
He refused to force his friend to marry her and endure such a terrible burden; but Lancelot, learning of the proposal, spoke with Arthur. He said nothing was too big of a sacrifice compared to Arthur's life and the preservation of the Round Table.
Hence, a wedding was proclaimed and the witch answered Arthur's question thus:
What a woman really wants, she answered....is to be in charge of her own life.
Everyone in the kingdom instantly knew that the witch had uttered a great truth and that Arthur's life would be spared.
And so it was, the neighbouring monarch granted Arthur his freedom and Lancelot and the witch had a wonderful wedding.
The honeymoon hour approached and Lancelot, steeling himself for a horrific experience, entered the bedroom. But, what a sight awaited him. The most beautiful woman he had ever seen lay before him on the bed. The astounded Lancelot asked what had happened. The beauty replied that since he had been so kind to her when she appeared as a witch, she would henceforth, be her horrible deformed self only half the time and the beautiful maiden the other half.
Which would he prefer? Beautiful during the day....or night?
Lancelot pondered the predicament. During the day, a beautiful woman to show off to his friends, but at night, in the privacy of his castle, an old witch? Or, would he prefer having a hideous witch during the day, but by night, a beautiful woman for him to enjoy wondrous intimate moments?
What would YOU do?
What Lancelot chose is below. BUT....make YOUR choice
NOW
DONT
CHEAT
Noble Lancelot said that he would allow HER to make the choice herself.
Upon hearing this, she announced that she would be beautiful all the time because he had respected her enough to let her be in charge of her own life. Now....what is the moral to this story?

The moral is..... If you don't let a woman have her own way.... Things are going to get ugly

No wonder your health is going south!!
Nice wish list. I'd probably borrow a few from that one, but alas, it seems to be a list over which neither of us has control.
The bottom line is still that you want things from the spouse that he is not prepared to give. Your friend seemed to be someone who could provide some of it, but I guess that was not to be. I'm so sorry for the turmoil that has put you through.
I don't know your spouse, or what his real motivations are, but I'm convinced they are based on misinformation. I don't think he knows how little effort it would take on his part to make you happy, and I suspect he's under the mistaken impression that he would have to change is core being.
Ya know something? I grew up without a father. Without a model for my own marriage. My mother was reserved, though her dedication to her kids was everything. I really didn't know husband/wife affection until I met my spouse. She taught me so much about love.
If only yours could learn a thing or two from you!!
And your kidlings would learn from that as well. Respect is not the same thing as agreement. It does not require that one change one's view of things, but only to be open to others' opinions/views, and it has a lot to do with "how" you disagree; not whether or not you disagree.
You've said I'm a good man, and believe it or not I've never thought otherwise. I just realized that I've never returned the compliment, but I hafta say you're a good woman! Your greatest strength is also your greatest weakness. You care about others, and want to help. I think there's no nobler way of thinking. But if it's not reciprocated, it makes life just plain hard! No matter how hard we try to take the high road, we cannot help but look for fairness and reciprocity.
I'm no Mother Teresa, and neither are you!
Are there any practical ways you can get any of the things on your wish list?
