		<description>Yep...you pretty much described him. You gotta think we have been married for ten years...we have went through the different phases...when we were first married I would get hurt and cry, after a couple of years I would get angry and fight back. Now he can&#039;t get to me like he used to. He tries and I know it bugs him. I think they eventually push us to the point where &quot;we&quot; change. And where that innocent, unconditional, love isn&#039;t there anymore. I love my husband completely. But I am always on guard. I expect him to do bad...when he is good it surprises me. I almost know what he is going to say before he says it. I hate the cycle.</description>
