Given that he probably thinks you've now reached an understanding similar to the one he holds, I expect he thought you'd have his attitude about it. However, expecting you to resent your son, or whatever, is ridiculous. At least, as much as a guy with no kids (me) can understand it. You're applying a different level of discipline, which involves kicking him out of the nest. That hardly says you dislike the kid, given how you're suffering over the decision. I wonder if your husband understands that.
