I have bought 2 books on making your marriage better and communicating better. I get alot of interesting stuff out of it, things that can help us. When I ask him to read it so we can improve his response is "highlight what you want me to read". I have told him if he want s the whole marriage he'll read the whole book. For example, he smokes I don't. I ask him all the time to go outside, we live in a small condo and i don't want the kids breathing it in. It turns into a fight and then " if you don't like it leave" and sometimes I do want to leave. I Have asked him to goto counsling and he says for me to go first. If he's not willing to work on the marriage why should I stay? Any sugestions?
Thank you
