So which is better: his constant criticisms straining you and the relationship.....or responding to them as unacceptable? It's much easier to just not make waves isn't it?........Good Luck...

I said that the constant nature of them and lack of compliments, not the nature of the criticisms themselves, were affecting my self-esteem.

This is a serious problem for us

I think if you RESPOND to each and everyone of these problems with a warning or ultimatum about your relationship, that strains your relationship

I think "Only Jeeps" was referring to my advice not yours. I guess he's never heard the psychological term "mirroring." It usually works well with a bully and insecure people determined to pull you down.
He had my post quoted initially then edited it and changed it to quote your post. Maybe he was responding to the wrong post accidentally?
