Anybody else feel like they’re the adult in the marriage?

We should all just leave. Because, really, what are we actually gaining?

And by all, I mean men and women both. Just. LEAVE. It's already over, anyway. And it only gets worse.

Get out while you can. Yes, you can be alone, because you already are, and in the end, we're already just that - alone.

I'm the ultimate organizer so doing a lot of the stuff OP outlined was part of my DNA. My DH took care of the outside of our house and managed all of our finances and he was always very engaged with our kids when they were young. He worked hard and was incredibly successful so over time we hired people to do a lot of the inside and outside stuff. It would have been nice if he had borne more of the burden but I can't complain because he has always treated me with great love and respect. I never felt I was the only adult in the house.

That’s because your situation is not the same at all.
