[quote=Anonymous]OP, it has to be hard to change your lifestyle considering you and DH are in your late 30s.  People get set in their ways as we get older.  I would recommend family counseling.  Also, moving to the suburbs sounds like a bad idea for your family.  Just because it is considered the "norm" to marry have a baby and move to the suburbs doesn't mean it works for all families.  Sounds like you and DH have some "structural" issues that need to be addressed.  The scaffolding holding up your marriage may fall apart.  I say this from some indirect experience.

My parents marriage fell apart for similar reasons (or at least what they both told me).  My father (early 60s) still lives a single lifestyle, never remarried or had additional kids after my parents divorce.  I don't think of him as a "parent" more like a good friend--if that makes sense.  My mom looks back and thinks they should have tried counseling and she should have confronted him instead of ignoring the problem.    And children remember--I still remember visiting my father one summer (I was 18/19).  He wanted me to stay in a hotel for a couple of nights so he could have his girlfriend over for the weekend!  Think about your DS.[/quote]
