[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh OP, I'm so sorry. This sounds so difficult. Any chance you could show him your post? It expresses how you're feeling so well.[/quote]

Thanks for the sympathy.  I guess I could try, but I fear he'd just blow up with anger, which he does when I bring this up.  And I sort of understand -- he's overworked at work, he's overworking himself at home, he plays with our toddler, etc etc etc, and I'm going to pile on criticism?  It just feels like he's become a home workaholic.  Nothing is left for me at all.  And pretty much nothing is left for me and our child together.  He does love spending time with the baby when I am taking a shower or running an errand or otherwise unavailable.  He even lets me sleep late on Saturdays after I nurse the baby in the AM - he enjoys their mornings alone together.  He just doesn't enjoy or seek out any time for the 3 of us.

What I really want to say is, "Who cares if the house is spotless and the floors are cleaned and there are rows of zucchinis in the garden if we're getting a divorced and the baby won't be able to grow up in this house, anyway?  Don't we need to tend our marriage more urgently than a garden?  Organic vegetables aren't going to keep our kid safe and attached in an intact family!"  Auuuuggggghhhh.[/quote]
