A little milestone for me

Thanks for the replies...

I didn't mean to make DH sound so ogre-like. He really is a great guy. He just has funny ideas about how to motivate me. My self-esteem is a little fragile, and he doesn't really know what to say to keep me going. He's the type who responds to criticism by trying harder. I need more positive input than he does.

exactly. My DH has done the same thing, thinking it would help. When in fact, it just hurt my feelings and made me mad. You and I are the same in that respect.
