[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'd sit him down and have him read this post.  As long as he's aware that you feel this way I think it's totally fine.

After you fail to remind him a few times he will either step up to the plate or not.

I have done this previously to some extent. My husband is better now that our kids are older, but when they were younger it saved my sanity.  [/quote]

Were you really able to let go of the expectation / hope he'd engage more?  [/quote]

Well, not entirely.  You aren't going to just stop feeling disappointed when the husband/father up the street is more engaged and includes your kids while your husband naps because he's "so tired," but you set your mind to it and just manage it.

I had a lot of outside help at that point in time, so I'd make plans, inform my husband, and he could show up or not.

I did it yesterday - made plans for the day off, informed him, and then just executed. He actually made the effort and came along.

Like you, divorce is not in the cards for us.  My kids love him and like I said, he's better now that they are older. I'm trying to let the past be the past, but I did tell him not long ago how I had felt previously. I think it made a difference, but there wasn't some enormous apology.[/quote]
