I should add that we've been so busy that my clean laundry is 3 piles, my dining room table is overflowing with things that need to be put away, and my basement isn't organized at all. Yet I'm happy.
Sounds like a lovely, full life which is a nice thing to have -

I definitely liked show Min more than her book counterpart (show needs a lot more credit than it gets for the improvement to Min and ESPECIALLY Faile), and I liked pairing her with Mat rather than Rand. I did like the scene where she told Mat why she briefly worked with Ishamael - it wasn't terrible, but I think I'd have preferred a different way to give her more depth.
As you say though - it'd be no fun if there weren't differing interpretations to discuss -

Moiraine and Lan's Season 2 plot was bafflingly awful with the 'make person I think is suicidal as miserable as possible' Faile having romantic scenes with Perrin in the forge hits different when you remember he killed his wife in that forge. Min is working for Leandrin and Ishamael in Season 2, but somehow this causes no issue in getting a job working for Siuan in Season 3.
Lan and Moiraine S2 and Min's involvement with everyone were the worst offenders I was thinking of with my "wild decisions" comment. Series 3 felt like a hard course correct, but I don't understand the thinking with those decisions in the first place. -

Retired Bridge burner - what a rough time you had.
I think there's something going on that's medical and beyond your ability to deal (anyone besides him, really). He's afraid of losing connections, afraid of what you not having kids would be like, and quite willing to be a total scrub about yammering to you non stop to not hear the fear whispering.
The times you stood up for yourself included the times you exited the situation, the times when you redirected, the times when you said that's not right, and when you put in a good try. There's not more to be done. This isn't your responsibility to manage.
Thank you amph. I think you're spot on with the medical point - we are fairly sure he is depressed (or something very much in that ballpark) but there is also not even a remote chance he will ever seek help or indeed help himself. Any sensible suggestions of even low hanging fruit ways to help himself spawn frequent rants about "why does everyone try to tell me what to do".
It is sad to watch him be so unhappy, but at the same time it's been near enough 18 years of this with absolutely no effort on his part so my sympathy and patience are more limited than they once were. For context of the 18 year comment - it's all post-divorce. Believe it or not, I had a wonderful dad before then.
