Who comes first? Husband or kids? (teenagers) I say husband comes first and even though I think I'm doing a great job, he still says I put my kids above him.
What says everyone? Any suggestions on making him feel even more special than I believe I already am?
Thanks

That's a toughie. I try to put my husband first, too, but with three young kids, it's a bit difficult :) I doubt it gets any easier, either lol.
I think the best way is just to make sure you carve out time for just him... since your kids are teenagers, it might be a bit easier to take him out on a date, for some one on one grown-up time... with no talking about kids or school stuff or anything like that. Or, maybe hit the hotel for a weekend, just you and him! Hopefully that advice helps!!
Actually, I just read that other post for the first time, and I am inclined to agree... as a husband, it is one thing to want some attention from wifey (all men do) but based on how you described him in the other post, it doesn't sound like he deserves it. He does indeed sound very controlling, and I would consider that emotional abuse, but that's just me.
I'd call it quits if that were my relationship. I'm sorry, and I hope things get better :(
My kids come first no matter what! My bf says the same thing and I told him he's a big boy and my kids come first because they are not capable of taking care of themselves. These men need to grow up!!! They need a mama not a wife! Btw, the fact that he acts this way is pushing me out the door.... good luck!
Well I beieve it is over (my marriage)
