[quote=Anonymous]Np here. We have kids but our lives are similar to OP’s. During the week we wake up, divvy up getting kids dressed and too school (typically his jobs) and packing lunches / backpacks / signing permission slips etc (typically my job). He actually starts work about 6:30 am and then takes a break for this. I start about 8:30. We both work at home in different rooms. He does after care pickup (about 5:30) and / or drives to soccer practices or our younger daughter’s therapy while I wrap up my day and cook dinner. Depending on older DD’s soccer schedule we try to eat together but about 3 nights a week it’s just me and younger DD. My husband will text me memes he’s seen or stop by during my work day to get my opinion on something. After dinner we will sometimes play a game or watch a show as a family, then he handles things like laundry or grocery shopping while I typically am the person tidying the kitchen. (I also handle bills, classroom events, bday parties etc) It varies if it’s bath night who does that for our younger daughter. We then each read to a child / tuck them in (alternating) and we’re done about 9 pm. Most nights we then do our own thing. Some nights we’re intentional about reading in bed together or being intimate. We’ve started scheduling walks together a few days a week and eat lunch together about once every two weeks. We hang out in the evenings if we plan it ahead of time (he’ll even text “wanna hang out tonight?”) I’m very extroverted so about once every two weeks (give or take) I go out on a weeknight with my friends. He’s more introverted. On weekends we do more as a family but often it’s me taking the girls somewhere. When we do slow down and connect he’s still a wonderful friend and a very passionate partner so I miss him sometimes :-)

We visited some friends last weekend who had other friends over and the people we met were asking my husband a bunch of questions about his area of expertise. Although I had a general understanding I hadn’t known what questions to ask and it was so fun to realize there’s still a lot to know / learn after 26 years together. [/quote]
