I’m sure your husband is counting the days too.

Probably not. The ADHD/ASD types are entirely oblivious. I feel this area has a lot of them, because they do well in jobs that require very high levels of technical expertise, and the DC area has a lot of jobs like this. In my little street, there are no less than three men with that profile. One of them can't keep a girlfriend, the two others have very unhappy wives.

My mom did this spring semester of my (the youngest) freshman year at college and can’t understand why we’re estranged.

She thought she was doing something for your benefit. Sounds like you would have preferred they divorced much earlier? It doesn't make sense to me that you would necessarily be estranged. There is no perfect timing.

My ex-wife said she would divorce me when the youngest turned 18. I beat her to the punch by 12 years. Best decision I ever made.

I wish we men called out our mentally ill DHs more often because many of us are certainly dealing with them on a daily basis

Nice. And women take it very hard and personal when men are the ones who divorce them instead. It is as if "how dare you" kind of thing

I doubt it's just this area. Straight men are not socially conditioned to read the room, to think about everything that needs to happen for a household to function well, etc. Once they're paired off, they let their partner take on everything they don't want to do but would notice if it weren't done (or they'd announce that there's another way for the thing to get done that requires no effort on their part -- have kids pack their own lunches, don't worry about Christmas presents, etc)

Good for you. What kind of idiot would announce something like this?

No one wants to admit it, but most men are simply not built to handle the complexities of home management and child rearing. It involves too many balls in the air. They are better suited to singular focus. But since we now require "equality" we pathologize men when they struggle.

They’re stunted one trick ponies. They need to grow up and step up to adult life. Not just themselves.

They were too propped up by others. And not breeding before. Now with tech and more accepted antisocial behaviors they fake it long enough to move out of Mama’s house and fail later.

So true.

So self centered and uncaring for others needs.
