Well, I was afraid my post would be taken the wrong way. I mean, it's really hard to describe someone and give justice to the rest of their being when you mention their faults because the faults are automatically what stands out. I don't know if it's human nature or the result of society where we only see the bad things. Leaving my husband is not an option. These habits I mentioned that he does is more of an irritation for me and not something I would leave him for. It's not like I deal with it all day long every single day. When he makes comments about people, he does it more in a conversational tone, not the "jock-type" ridiculing tone. And he doesn't yell either. He's very much the non-aggressive type unless someone he loves is in danger. He would never intentionally do anything to hurt my feelings.
I suppose it just bothers me that the things that bother him or things he makes a big deal out of are so trivial in the grand scheme of things. He's not into all this metaphysical stuff. When I was trying to teach him some form of Feng Shui, he immediately says "as long as I don't have to do anything spiritual, I'll give it a try". Heaven forbid I try to teach him to meditate! I guess my real question is, how do you "enlighten" a heavy soul? Do you just lead by example? Do you tell them to try it this way and see how it works for them? Or do you just hope and pray that they see the light as they go through the journey and discover things themselves? I already know my life's purpose, and I don't think teaching my husband is part of the curriculum.
