Summary

It’s a beautiful sight, isn’t it? A grown man throwing a tantrum. Stomping around, calling you names, slamming doors. Hits you right in the feels, eh? Or maybe he’s the quiet type of mean. Stonewalling. Sleeping for days. Leaving for hours without warning. However a husband’s jerky behavior manifests, most Christian wives are taught to respond the same ways: Assume you’re the problem. Feel shame. Assume you have to endure his behavior. Feel despair. Assume you have to make his life work. Feel resentment. For all these common feelings, I’ve got some uncommon alternatives. And they WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE. Which is a lot more attractive than a grown man acting like a two-year-old. Episode Highlights: - The “Versus” Game: Ten common thoughts versus ten uncommon responses to abusive behavior (as mind-blowing as finding out that Pluto isn’t a planet anymore, 10x) - The “Blue Hair” Game: No hair dye needed; you just have to do a bit of reframing your perspective (specifically that he’s a little nuts and you’re not) - The “Peace Out” Game: The aim is to get your peace back by walking away from disrespect. Worth its weight in gold, people. - The “30-Minute” Game: This is when I tell you the podcast is over. It seems like nobody wins this game, but really you just get to binge-listen to a bunch more. (158 episodes more, winky wink.) - The “I Want to Tell You More But All I’m Really Doing Is Keeping You From Listening to the Podcast Already” Game: You know what to do. Click it.

0:10.2	podcast, a support resource for women of faith, looking for hope and healing from hidden
0:16.6	emotional and spiritual abuse.
0:21.6	Welcome to episode 159 of the Flying Free Podcast. I've decided to call this
0:27.9	podcast 10 thoughts that confident women think when their husbands act
0:32.4	like jerks.
0:33.8	And I just went through and just came up with 10 thought.
0:37.5	Basically I started with 10 thoughts that I remember thinking
0:41.8	when I was married to my ex-husband that I remember thinking on a regular
0:47.0	basis and how I've changed my thinking since that time or how I would think about things now if I was still living
0:56.4	with him. Okay and so now usually I script out my when I do a podcast episode and it's just me and I'm not
1:04.7	interviewing anybody I scripted out I scripted out quite a bit most of the time this
1:11.1	one I decided not to script out but I did I wrote some notes and I'm just
1:16.2	gonna one of the reasons why I script things out is because I tend to get on a roll with
1:22.2	things I shouldn't say a role, I start going down rabbit trails I guess.
1:27.5	And so those of you who know me best know this about me.
1:32.3	And I can, you know know by the time we're all done with the rabbit trails
1:36.7	we are a far we're a long ways away from where we began and it's kind of fun but for these
1:42.1	podcast episodes I kind of like to try to keep them, you know, to a half an hour or less.
1:46.5	So anyway, we're going to see what happens here, but I have 10 things I want to share and hopefully we'll get to all of them in the next 30 minutes.
1:53.7	All right.
1:54.7	So one thing, first of all, I also want to say that the reason that I called it, you know,
